Iniquity and Love

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

Matthew 24:12

Reading:

Matthew 24:1-14

How alert and discerning am I?

Could I swayed by deceivers?

“Then shall they deliver you up” — Do I qualify as a target?

How deep and secure is my loyalty to my fellow Christians?

What effect is iniquity having on me?

Is my spiritual commitment now sufficient to carry me through to the end?

Is the gospel of the kingdom going forth from me?

[The Scriptures say in Matthew 24:13 -- Endure unto the end]
from Matthew 24:13

Well, Who Is He?

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

Matthew 16:15

Reading:

Matthew 16:13-27

Those times when I say who Jesus is, what do I say?

Otherwise, what does my life say about who Jesus is?

How well do I hear and retain what Jesus has to say to me?

Am I prone to challenge or question God’s plan and way of doing things?

Will I go after Jesus?

Where does my self fit into my life?

What am I doing with my life?

What am I giving (or taking, for that matter) in exchange for my soul?

What kind of reward will my works yield?

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me” (Matthew 16:24).
