Last Sunday, we talked about intentional transformation--taking responsibility for your own spiritual growth. While maturity is the work of God, He invites us to cooperate with Him. Below are 7 questions I suggested as a way to diagnose your own spiritual progress. Of course, these questions aren't inspired, but based on the 7 Functions of Biblical Community, they provide a good framework to think about our spiritual progress.
Spiritual Formation
How am I growing in godliness through spiritual disciplines?
Evangelism
How am I helping others in my neighborhood meet Jesus Christ?
Recreation/Relationships
Where am I connected in community?
Volunteerism
When do I sacrificially support my church?
International Missions
How am I expanding the gospel around the world?
Care
Whose needs am I meeting?
Extending Compassion
Where am I making a difference in my community?

I have to admit that at first I was overwhelmed by this list of questions.
There is so much in the Biblical functions that I haven't yet mastered, or made part of my life...but what a great way to get a list of goals, and to focus my attention on what I need to do.
