“CHRISTAIN LOVE QUESTIONNAIRE!”


1 Corinthians 13:4-7


“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.  It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.  Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”



The Wedding Song ( There Is Love )

On Sunday 

I challenged our congregation with I Corinthians 13. It has often been called the “Love Chapter” in the Bible, and rightfully so. Paul gives his readers a clear description of what Christian love should be. How do you rate?


1.  Are you patient — even when you are forced to wait?


2.   Have you developed a spirit of kindness by looking for ways to help people?


3.   Are you afflicted with the green-eyed monster of jealousy and envy?


4.   Do you like to remind others of your accomplishments?


5.   Do you delight in feeling that you are better than others?


6.   Are you negligent in caring about the needs and feelings of other people?


7.   Are you the center of your universe?


8.   Do you have a “short fuse” and blow up when things do not go right?


9.   Do you remember the wrongs other people have done to you?


10. Do you delight in evil by your actions or in your thought life?


11. Do you sincerely rejoice when the truth is revealed?


12. Are you a protector of the things of God?


13. Do you place your absolute trust in God’s Word?


After prayerfully completing this questionnaire, what changes do you feel God wants you to make in your life?




May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
