Review your “yes” answers. Would you describe yourself as being “soul conscious”? Do you believe you are exerting as much influence for Jesus as He wants from his disciples? If you are satisfied with yourself, do you think Jesus is?
Review your “no” answers. Are there some ways you can begin today to do more for the Lord? Let us begin now to realize that the lost need to’ be saved and be about “our Father’s business!
