- When I begin to act as if genuine joy is dependent on the state of the circumstances surrounding me
- When I am begin to lose the distinct aroma of the fragrance of Christ in my life
- When I begin to feel or act as if my self-worth and acceptance is dependent on how well I perform
- When I am losing my grip on the reality of spiritual warfare. Then I begin to treat my brother or my fellow human being as my enemy and seek to do battle with fleshly weapons
- When I act as if victory or success depends on me and my ability rather than on the adequacy of God and the power of the Holy Spirit
- When I place undue emphasis on programming and planning to the exclusion of His direction, leading and guidance
- When more time is spent in the "activities arena" than in the prayer closet
- When the praises of men and women become more important than the approval of God
- When relating to and caring for people is less important that programs, planning, meetings and budgets
- When I assume responsibility to worry and fret over things and people that God in His sovereignty and power would take charge of it (if I would allow Him to do so)
- When my rights become more important than God's will and way
(Dwight Hill)
