this sunday

this sunday i am giving the congregation a pop quiz. have you ever tested your congregation before? most the time if the congregation is being tested by you they really do not know it. but sunday i will give them a test. it shouldnt be too hard. it is a four question multiple choice test, with no clear cut answers. (i wish when i was in school i had more tests like this.) here is the test.

1. What does your prayer sound like?
a. Lord, please help those sinners; they are so lost in the ways of the world.
b. Lord, help me to show love to this person that is hurting so much.
c. Lord, bring someone into my life to rescue me from all this hurt.
d. What is prayer?
2. What is your passion?
a. I desire to know everything that is written in the scriptures.
b. I desire to reach out to the adulterers, the homosexuals, the gluttons and legalists alike.
c. I desire to find out what love is.
d. That’s a fruit isn’t it?
3. How is your participation in church activities?
a. I go to church every time the doors are open.
b. I am never in the same church twice.
c. I have gone a couple times but never felt I fit in.
d. Our church has more than this Sunday service?
4. What are your priorities?
a. To show others their faults.
b. To show people love.
c. To feel acceptance.
d. None of the above

when first reading it, it is not that hard but the answers will reveal a little bit about your true self. now that you have taken the short test. here is what the result mean. the text is taken straight from john 8:1-11 and what you answered in the test will line you up from which group you fall in.

if your had more answers that are
a. Pharisees- A- You are a person who follows the law, or at least the law that you want.
b. Jesus- B- You are a person who looks out for others
c. Adulterous woman- do anything you can to find love
d. You might need some help
e. Scattered answers- where one is weak, there is always room for improvement.

i am a guy who was scattered. in most personality profiles i usually dont lean one way or the other. i am one with all kinds of issues.

hopefully this test will make you think.
