Francis Chan at Exponential conference in Orlando gave out seven things to ask before we speak or preach for God. I have heard him refer to these questions and hope to find the whole message. #4 is the key here. Without Him we are nothing and With Him we are complete!
1. Am I worried about what people think of me?
2. Do I love these people?
3. Am I accurately presenting this passage?
4. Am I depending on the Holy Spirit’s power or my own ability?
5. Have I applied this message to my own life?
6. Will this message draw attention to me or God?
7. Do the people really need this message (is there a sense of urgency)?
