How to check your attitude about anything

Sometimes, it is hard for us to identify sin in our life because we don't think that we have a tendency towards any particular sin. One way to test whether we are drawn by a certain sin or maybe even a person, is to ask these three questions. From this you can tell what your attitude is towards the person or thing.
  1. What do you say about _____ (person/place/thing)___?
  2. Do you move toward or away from ______?
  3. Do you seek out ways to come into more contact with _____?
Remember that once you realise you have a tendency to sin, God is always willing to forgive you because Jesus Christ has paid for your sins and you can be made clean by receiving his sacrifice on the cross that was intended for you. For more information, go to www.needgod.com
