How is your private devotional life? Do you really have a relationship with God, or are you just going through the motions? Take your faith seriously, like these believers did: Over 200 years ago, John Wesley’s Holy Club met and the members were required to ask themselves 22 questions each day in their private devotions: 1. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am a better person than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite? 2. Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate? 3. Do I confidentially pass on what was told to me in confidence? 4. Can I be trusted? 5. Am I a slave to dress, friends, work or habit? 6. Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying? 7. Did the Bible live in me today? 8. Do I give God time to speak to me every day? 9. Am I enjoying prayer? 10. When did I last speak to someone else of my faith? 11. Do I pray about the money I spend? 12. Do I get to bed on time and get up on time? 13. Do I disobey God in anything? 14. Do I insist on doing something about which my conscience is uneasy? 15. Am I defeated in any part of my life? 16. Am I jealous, impure, irritable, touchy, or distrustful? 17. How do I spend my spare time? 18. Am I proud? 19. Do I thank God I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees who despised the publicans?
20. Is there anyone I fear, or dislike, or criticize, or resent? If so, what am I doing about it? 21. Do I grumble and complain constantly? 22. Is Christ real to me?
