The Christian Questionnaire Test

Can we pass the "Being a Christian" test.  Christianity is a lifestyle, but too often we act like we are doing God a favor.  How will we answer the following questions:

1. During one week's time (a 7 day period) when we watch television what do we watch the most?
Soap Operas ___, Sports___, Comedy___, Movies____, God based programs____
If we are watching any of the other programs more than we are watching God based programs that means we love those programs, and know them better than God.

And God spoke all these words, saying, “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. “You shall have no other gods before Me. (Exodus 20:1-2)

2. How often do we attend church services?
Never___, Once a week___, Every Other Sunday___, Twice a week___, More___
God never takes a day off when it comes to us, but we are selfish with our time when it comes to Him.  Taking time to fellowship with like-minded people, and getting to hear the Word of God preached is beneficial to us.  The more we get the better off we are.  And, Sunday mornings are different from the week night Bible study.  And Sunday School is different from church service. One can't take the place of the other.  How can we grow into Christian maturity, and be effective Christians for Christ if we are stingy and lackadaisical with our time, attendance and energy.

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. (Acts 2:42)

2a. When we stay home from church service do we seek God at all.
No time with God___, 15 minutes___, 30 minutes___, 1 hour___, More___
Much prayer much power, little prayer little power, no prayer no power.  In this world today we need as much of God as we can get.  We need to pray, fast, read the Bible, attend church services, have devotions (praise and worship), listen to gospel music, and seek God's face and voice as often as possible.  All of these Godly things will keep us on the right track (the straight and narrow). Seeking God is not a burden, it is a privilege. 

We might, sometimes take a break from church services for a very good reason, but we should never take a break from God.  We need Him 24/7.

Seek the Lord and His strength; seek His presence continually! (1 Chronicles 16:11)

With my whole heart I seek You; let me not wander from Your commandments! (Psalm 119:10)

3. How many times do we talk about JESUS and tell what He has done for us?
Never___, Once a year___, once a month___, once a week___, once a day___, more___

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. (1 Peter 2:9) 

So, how did we do on the test.  Are we just calling ourselves Christians (followers of Christ) or are we practicing what we preach. No__, Yes__

All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. (Matthew 5:37)

And he said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation. (Mark 16:15)

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. (Galatians 6:9)

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16)

To GOD Be The Glory!
