(7) When you have little fear of temptation, and can trifle with spiritual danger.
(8) When you thirst for the complacency of men of the world, and are more anxious to know what they think or say of you, than whether you honour the Saviour in their sight.
(9) When scandals to religion are more the subject of your censure than of your secret grieving and prayer before God, and faithful endeavours for their removal.
(10) When you are more afraid to encounter the scorn of an offending man by rebuking sin than by offending God by silence.
(11) When you are more bent on being rich than holy.
(12) When you cannot receive deserved reproof for faults, and are unwilling to confess them and justify yourself.
(13) When you are impatient and unforbearing towards the frailties, misjudgments, and faults of others.
(14) When your reading of the Bible is formal, hasty, lesson-wise, or merely intellectual and unattended with self-application; or when you read almost any book with more interest than the Book of God.
(15) When you have more religion abroad than at home, are apparently fervent when “seen of men,” but languid when seen only in the family, or by God alone.
(16) When your religious taste is more for the new things of men than for the old things of the treasury of God’s Word.
