CRITICAL EVALUATION

Today's reading: Malachi

"..Your 'guidance' has caused many to stumble into sin." Malachi 2:8 NLT

Let's not wait until the New Year begins to evaluate our service to the Lord.

How are we ministering to Him? How are we ministering for Him?

How are we making His name known in the circles we live, work and do life in?

Are you causing others to stumble into sin by your words?

Your attitude?

Your disregard for the commands of the Lord?

What about your reactions when you are mad? Sad? Afraid? Do those reactionary responses point others to the Lord you're proclaiming, or not?

People make their own decisions. True.

I am not responsible for their actions. True.

I cannot make them choose the Lord. True.

But what about your life is making them trip and fall and want to give up?

Just a little something to think about this morning.
