Attend to your daily Bible reading

Never neglect daily prayer

While you pray, remember that God is present and that He hears your prayers (Hebrews 11:6).

 

Never neglect daily private Bible reading

When you read, remember that God is speaking to you, and that you are to believe and act upon what He says. All backsliding begins with the neglect of these two rules (John 5:39).

 

Never let a day pass without trying to do something for Jesus

Every night reflect on what Jesus has done for you and then ask yourself, "What am I doing for Him?" (Matthew 5:12-16).

 

When in doubt as to a thing being right or wrong, wait and think

Don't just do it without being confident it is right. Go to your room and see if you can find anything in the Bible that relates to it (call someone if you need to) (Romans 14:21-23). Then kneel down and ask God’s blessings upon it (Colossians 3:17).  If you feel uncomfortable doing this, that is a good sign it is wrong.

 

Never take your Christianity from other Christians

Don't argue that "such and such" people do "so and so," therefore you may (II Corinthians 10:12).  Ask yourself: "How would Christ act in my place?"

 

Never believe what you feel if it contradicts God’s word 

Ask yourself, "Can what I feel be true if God’s word is true and they disagree?"  If both cannot be true, believe God and change your feelings (Romans 3:4; I John 5:10-11).
