1. What things are you tempted to do instead of what you should be doing? What do you fill your time with that crowds out activity of eternal value?
2. Have you feasted so much at the table of the world that your hunger for the Lord (Matthew 5:6) has diminished and your first love (Revelation 2:4) has grown cold? What can you do to rekindle that love and hunger?
3. What allowable and permissible pursuits have you allowed to rob you of your service to God's church and His kingdom? What would change look like?
4. What things have crowded your life that keep you from fruitfulness (like time in God's word, prayer, fellowship, evangelism, etc.)? What steps of repentance do you need to take to begin the process of change?
5. Paul writes in Ephesians 5:15-16a "Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time..." How can you cultivate wisdom in your use of time? How can you put the eternal pursuits above the trivial?
