Really want to share with you this simple but deep exercise that I learnt from a talk last week. It's a sermon by Pastor Rob Penner, the pastor of my former church (ECC), at which he taught us about the "seven deadly sins", being : 1) Pride, 2) Envy, 3) Anger, 4) Greed, 5) Gluttony (love to eat), 6) Lust, ad 7) Sloth (laziness).
After the sermon, Pastor Rob left us with a 7 days' exercise, several questions every day to reflect on each of the 7 sins. Through such honest reflection, you'll be surprised to know more about yourself - strengths or weaknesses, and ask God to strengthen you in your pursuit of Godly charactor.
Day 1- Pride
1. Does the questions "What is God's plan for my life?" interest you more than the questions "What is God's plan ?"
2. Think of the last time you feelings were hurt or your felt irritated. What role did your pride play in this situation?
3. Reflect on Philippinas 2:1-11, part of which (v 6-11) was probably an early church creed or hymn. Why was it necessary for God use this method to reach the world?
4. Reflect on Luke 9:23-26 in light of your pride.
