Part I: Self-Evaluation Inventory

Please prayerfully use the inventory to evaluate your current spiritual status. The inventory, like all self-evaluation tools, is not an objective test, but part of a subjective process. It is designed to assist you in assessing your current spiritual condition.

The inventory is for your personal use. Please do not use it to compare yourself to others or to heap guilt upon yourself. Instead, use it to find patterns that suggest your spiritual strengths or weaknesses. Those strengths and weaknesses may or may not fit the categories listed on the inventory. God may lead you to think outside the box of these categories. You may discover themes from several sections that suggest a goal that is unique to you.

The inventory can help you discern where God wants to take you during the year. Use it as a guide to formulate one or two goals for spiritual growth. Disciples continually seek to become more "like" Jesus. You may already know exactly what goal God has for you in this stage of your life. If so, skip the self-evaluation inventory and go directly to Part II: Goals and Action Plan.

Part II: Goals and Action Plan

After completing the Self-Evaluation Inventroy, you are ready to set your goal(s) and complete an action plan for the year. Your goal(s) should focus on an area in which you believe God wants you to grow and become more like Jesus. You accomplish this as you develop a closer walk with Jesus. Thus, your goals will probably zero in on an aspect of your relationship with Jesus.

Remember that spiritual growth is the gift of God, not the product of human effort. Writing goals and completing the action plan is merely your attempt to cooperate with what God wants to do in your life. After you have completed your plan, take some time to commit it to the Lord. Print it out and keep it in your Bible or somewhere you will see it often. You can update it any time. Each anniverary of the setting the goal, you can revisit them. Then you can celebrate what God has done in your life during the previous year and write new goals for the next year. In the meantime, expect God to achieve his goals for you.
