Are You A Salmon Or A Goldfish?

I’m passionately seeking spiritual insight wherever I can find it.

I expect my pastor and church leaders to feed me spiritually.

I’m convinced there are things God wants me to risk everything for.

I’m convinced it’s better to “play it safe” than to risk everything.

I’ll go with the flow and avoid situations that may cause discomfort.

I’ll go “against the flow” when God calls, even when it hurts.

I sacrifice attractive opportunities in order to pursue God’s call.

I know God will forgive me if I take a detour or two on the way to heaven.

I’ll “hedge my bets” just in case.

I’ll “dive-in” and commit 100%.

I fight injustice and speak up for what’s right.

I think somebody (else) should do something about injustice.

I cave in to pressure even when I know it’s not right.

I choose the hard-way when I believe its God’s-way.

I don’t risk failure or rejection even when I know God is calling.

I follow God where others fear to go and do what other fear to do.

I persevere by faith, even when others don’t understand.”

In matters of faith I defer to the opinions and judgments of the group.

I accept things as they are or find excuses for why “it can’t be done.”

I find ways over, under, around, or through obstacles.

I have to tap hidden reserves of energy in order to keep on going.

I give-up or give-in when I get too tired or frustrated.

I give what I believe I can afford.

I risk giving beyond my means.
