15 moments matching self examination, word for word. Open them ↓

39:51 This is important because it's easy to see the sins of others and sometimes it's really really hard to see our own. And so to make a searching and fearless moral inventory of oneself is important. Self examination, deflation at depth, a willingness, belief, surrender, and then this, self examination. Now, I have used this list. I haven't read it since step four, but I'm going to read it now. Having Had a Spiritual Awakening
37:53 But if a searching and fearless moral inventory is a sober look at your life in the light of God's word. Okay? And I have been calling this self examination. That was what was in the early literature. A lot of AA groups, if there are any If they if they go to the bible for their points, they usually take the book of James which says to take a look at yourself as in a mirror and examine who you are, and it puts a high standard on self examination and we should do that. First Be Reconciled to Your Brother
50:57 Self examination. Wow. Thinking about that upper room and I think about Jesus saying that there was gonna be a betrayal and then having those guys say, is is it is it our Lord? Is it me? That's self examination. Good News for the Sinners in This Room
32:33 Well, let's look at his word then and self examine with an objective standard. For good self examination, James actually, the book of James comes up a lot in early Alcoholic Synonymous literature. It's really, really good. It's very practical. I've always called it the gospel in work clothes. Direct Amends Wherever Possible
38:25 Self examination, making a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. If you are just judging yourself though by other people, that's a bad system. You're going to look around and you're to say, there's no way I'm as good as that guy and but I'm so much better than them. Both of those things will come up. So we need an objective standard. First Be Reconciled to Your Brother
43:58 And if you've ever walked with anybody through these 12 steps, this one tends to be one of the hardest ones because it is looking at yourself in the mirror and probably not liking everything that you see. And so rather than be in a place of confidence, again, like deflation of depth at depth, step one, the fearless and searching moral inventory is self examination. It's very much a step of sobriety and humility to say, I'm gonna take this seriously. Now, I have been using this list. I've actually used it in various forms over the years to make a point in a sermon usually. The Ones Who Looked Lived
42:03 No. Self examination is fearless and searching. Show me. Carl read Psalm 51 this morning before one of the songs. It's show me, Lord. Love Must Have an Object
42:14 Search me and see if there be any wicked way in me. Show me and cleanse me. I want for you to show me. So in self examination, I have brought this list forward. I I may just compile the list of all of the vice lists in the New Testament. Love Must Have an Object
33:59 That's a good question for self examination. Do I actually give what I have to help others? But it's in Jesus name. I do it because I know Jesus and because he said, whatsoever you do for the least of these, you've done it also to me. Do I do that? By What Power Have You Done This
41:46 Right? A good place to start in self examination, if I tend to think relative to other people because I'm see other people, I look around and think, well, I'm better than that guy. I hadn't done such and such. I think I'm alright. Looking around, I'm doing okay. Love Must Have an Object
57:10 Application drawn from the text. Here are a few questions for self examination based on what it said just as far as we've gone today. Do I really see people who are suffering Or do I walk right on past them? And I mean, that might be physically on a walker, it might be just knowing about. And we Oh my goodness. Silver and Gold Have None
32:55 It's like where the rubber hits the road and self examination is a big part of the book of James. We made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves. Now, I've been putting this slide up here for weeks and weeks now, it's like ten weeks. And it's almost ridiculous in it's in the list. And it's not exhaustive. Direct Amends Wherever Possible
58:01 Making peace with enemies, harmonizing action with God's will, overcoming resentments, making restitution, avoiding retaliation, conducting prayers and good works anonymously, forgiving, seeking God first, utilizing self examination, doing the will of God, and being rigorously honest. These are repetitive too. They come up a lot in different places. Now, I have told you all from the beginning. I started off this series with a story about Ron. Having Had a Spiritual Awakening
51:43 Four different very distinct passages from different places but practically speaking, application, I need to know some application. I'm still gonna go to scripture for it, but what does it look like? The eleventh step for recovery often really emphasizes self examination and then good time to do that, excuse me, is at the end of the day. At the end of the day, in the evening, before you retire, examine your day. Practically speaking, this is what it looks like. Improve Your Conscious Contact With God
46:29 The next step I mentioned last week and this is what the main service was about last week. It was the from John five, the man who had been lying for thirty eight years at this pool of Bethesda and Jesus has an unusual question for him. He says, are you ready to get well or do you want to be made well? Step six is where we say we are entirely ready to have God remove the defects of character that we've seen in that self examination, that we've already admitted to him. Now, I think that step six is a good one to slow down and say, are you ready to get well? The Ones Who Looked Lived
