Today’s questions are just as potent to our ‘Faithfulness in Ministry’ as yesterday’s questions. I sense that preachers as a whole are have moved toward a comfortable ministry and to ask these question will not only be painful, but down right condemning.
Thanks be to God that there is restoration in Christ! I, for one, could never minister without that truth running in my veins and heart… So be encouraged oh babbling ministers, oh lazy ministers, oh racist ministers, and unloving ministers… b/c if you are reading this it is not to late to change, love, discipline yourself, and listen! Not just for the sake of the Gospel, but for the sake of your own fellowship with our Lord…!
I hope that I am not coming off as two harsh, b/c the truth is I am preaching to myself most of all… 
Enjoy today’s questions on “Faithfulness in Ministry” by Isaac Watts.
6. Am I watchful to ‘avoid profane and vain babblings?’ 1 Tim. 6.20. and do I take care to ’shun foolish questions, which do gender strife, and disputing about words, which are to no profit, but the subversion of the hearers?’ 2 Tim. 2.14, 23.
7. Do I study to show myself approved unto God, rightly dividing the word of truth; 2 Tim. 2.15 giving to every one, viz. to saints and sinners, their proper portion?
8. Do I make it my business to ‘testify to all men, whether Jews or Greeks, the necessity of repentance towards God, and faith in Christ Jesus;’ and that ‘there is no other name under heaven given whereby we may be saved;’ making this gospel of Christ the subject of my ministry? Acts 20.21. Acts 4.12.
9. Do I constantly affirm that ‘those who have believed in Christ Jesus should maintain good works, and follow after holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord’?’ Titus 3.8. Heb. 12.14.
10. Do I teach those that hear me to ‘observe all that Christ hath commanded us, nor shun to declare to them at proper seasons the whole counsel of God?’ Mat. 28.20. Acts 20.27.
