Reflection Questions:

1) What are the "gatherings" your life tends to revolve around? Work? School? Recreations? In what ways can you improve in gathering with God's people, but not the absolute exclusion of other necessary or good gatherings?

2) What are the areas in which you tend to sin but justify or cover it with a "holy excuse?" Can you admit them to yourself, your loved one(s), and God?

3) What are the areas of your life that you are "holding back" offering your best to God?
