A Church Self Evaluation

The marks of low spiritual passion are:

• A reluctance to witness or share faith with others;

• A lack of genuine expectation of prayer to change things;

• A loss of interest in studying the Bible or expecting it to have truth that can be applied to daily life;

• An inability to show any joy when talking about faith;

• A lifeless feel to worship, even though the worship performance may be of excellent quality;

• A disconnect between the work of the church’s committees and the faith that the church professes, that is, what we believe doesn’t affect what we do;

• A loss of hope for the future coupled with a reluctance to try new things.
