Apathy, Babel-Building, & Godly Ambition

<p>Pastor Brian continues our verse-by-verse study through the Gospel according to John. Here in John 3:22–30, we witness our last substantive encounter with John the Baptist and learn that the best life is one lived for Christ's increase.<br><br>Pastor Brian instructed you to go through a series of questions to evaluate your life. Be sure to check your answers with someone who knows you well (your wife, best friend, etc.). Here are those questions:<br><br>1. Why do I exist? <br><br>2. In which areas has God particularly gifted me? In which areas has he not? (Asking questions like “What do I like to do?” can help you get at this one)<br><br>3. Do I tend more towards apathetic pride (squandering God’s gifts) or Babel-building pride (misappropriating God’s gifts to build a kingdom for my own glory)?<br><br>4. Is there a particular area of sin that needs to be repented of that would keep me from living for Christ's increase?<br><br>5. Are there habits or disciplines that are not in place in my life that I will need to live for Christ’s increase? What obstacles are keeping me from walking in these things?</p>
