Symptoms That You Are Neglecting The True Fountain

Extracted from Singapore's 40day prayer and fast for the Nation (5July2009)

We know when we have been neglecting the True Fountain and sipping from other sources that can never satisfy. The symptoms:-

> When ritual replaces revelation and radical obedience
> When man-made rules replace divine guidance
> When we trust systems and structures more than we trust God
> When tradition trounces Truth
> When man's approval matters more than God's
> When logic prevails over love and wisdom
> When professionalism replaces passion
> When identity is based on performance
> When ambition takes precedence over relationships
> When we place career above Christ, Church and community
> When the economy seems more important than eternity
> When entertainment is more exciting then evangelism and intercession
> When gimmicks and fads replace true worship, prayer and quality time in the Word
> When discipleship is "toll-free"
> When our affection and first love for Jesus fades into memory
> When we pump ourselves up to worship, pray or minister
