When thinking about others, the best place to always begin is with a “gospel exam.” You can do this by answering a few self-assessment questions? Carefully think through these questions to see if any apply. It may benefit you to discuss them with a friend or a small group of like-minded disciplers.
- Are you frustrated with anyone?
- Are you impatient someone?
- Do you look down on others?
- Are you unsympathetic toward the struggler?
- Are you critical of people who can’t kick their habit?
- Do you feel superior toward certain ethnic groups?
- Are you condescending toward gay people?
- What about those on the other side of the political aisle?
I’m asking if there are sinners in your sphere of influence with whom you struggle in your heart? Perhaps I did not ask the right question. What if you supplied one that is more accurate? If you answered yes to any of these heart queries, you not only need a gospel checkup, but you need a gospel fix.
