ITS TIME TO REVIEW
Deut: 30: 15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
16 In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

Review your Faith.
Saving and Satisfying
Sure and Steadfast
Strong and Sufficient
Review your faithfulness
Prayer plans purpose it has for his will
Promotions did you stand for? Did you stand with the word ?
Were you present at worship and work?
Review your forgiveness
Wanting to forgive to keep good fellowship
Willing to forgive for Christ sake
Welcomed forgiveness because Christ has forgiven you
Review our Fellowship
Worshiping --- have we shouldered or shunned our duty.
Walking --- have we sought to weld instead of widen
Working --- have we strengthened a weak brother are sister with love.
Review our Fear
Fear of God afraid not to do his will
Fear of greed keeps us from giving
Fear of guilt will stunt your growth
1st Tim:3 3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; .
Review our Failures
What area does your spirit lack?
What area is your self-surrender missing?
What area are you lagging in service?
Review of your Future
What are your plans as a believer?
What are your plans as a backslider?
What are your plans as a lost person.?
