(2 Corinthians 7:10) The value of evaluation in our lives and ministries
As Christians, it is important to stop and examine ourselves to make necessary adjustments in our spiritual walk with Christ. The world and its temptations try to distract us, so we need to ask God for help in evaluating ourselves and refocusing on His work. If we don't examine ourselves, God will.
