Forgotten God – Chapter 6

Posted originally on December 25, 2009 by msmucker

These are our questions for discussion on Chapter 6 on Sunday April 11th. (We can also hit anything in previous chapters for those who could not be there in previous weeks.)  Next week April 18th will be our last chat for this book. It will be on Chapter 7 and the Afterward. 

For Chapter 6

1. Chan talks about asking questions like “What does God want me to do today?” instead of “What is God’s will for my life in the future?” Are you living in the Spirit now, even as you read this? What does He want you to do?

2. “Being filled with the Spirit is not a one-time act.” Do you agree? Why or why not?

3. Is the fruit of the spirit apparent in your life? (see Galatians 5:22-23)

  Galatians 5:16 (Contemporary English Version)
  If you are guided by the Spirit, you won’t obey your selfish desires.

  Philippians 2:12-13 (New Living Translation)
  Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

4. How are you working out your salvation? Gauge yourself: In which areas of your life are you allowing God to work in you, and in which areas are you maintaining control?
