1. Can you overlook un-Christlike attitudes and lifestyles in your efforts to connect with others?

2. Are you able to suspend your judgment for long periods of time around not-yet-Christians?

3. Do you consistently seek to understand the not-yet-Christians you know before seeking to

    be understood by them?

4. Are you patient enough to wait for the not-yet-Christians in your life to ask for your opinion?

5. Be honest: Do you like people who are far from God?

6. Do people who are far from God like you? For example: Are you invited to “party-parties”?

7. Does your body language communicate an open-hearted acceptance of the not-yet-Christians

    in your life?

8. Are you able to communicate acceptance to not-yet-Christians without endorsing their

    lifestyles?

9. In your relationships with not-yet-Christians, do you typically offer kindness rather than

 Rate Yourself

 85 to 100—Congratulations! You might be frequently misunderstood by Christians, but the not-yet-Christians in your life are undoubtedly drawn toward the heart of Jesus formed in you. Keeping walking in this light.

65 to 85—You must decrease, and Jesus must increase—one heart attitude at a time. Embrace the people and the situations in your life as God attempts to prune those heart attitudes that are not bearing fruit for his kingdom.

Under 65—Jesus needs to do something in you before he can do something through you. You might start this process by beginning each day with this prayer; Lord Jesus help me to see the people who will cross my path this day the way you do.
