I got these questions from Francis Chan, he is the author of Crazy Love (great book) and is a Pastor in California. I heard him speak at a conference in Texas a while back and he gave us these questions. I have been asking myself these questions before I speak to a group ever since. They are great for anyone who speaks God's word into people's lives. These questions help me focus in on my subject and they help me check my motives:
1. Am I more concerned with what people think or what God thinks?
2. Do I genuinely love these people?
3. Am I accurately presenting this passage?
4. Have I applied this message to my own life?
5. Am I depending on the Holy Spirit's power or my own cleverness?
6. Will this message draw attention to me or to God?
7. Do they really need this message?

i think you should ask yourself number 2 more often, so when do we all get to hear about your fascinating trips to sonic?
Ha! Ha! Hunter what's up man? I will definitely ask myself that question more. I will have to mention the famous Sonic Trips.
