G. Self-evaluation:

1. Do I agree that integrity often meets its match in money matters? 

2. Do I know that God calls me to be honest even in small details I could easily rationalize away?

3. Have I realized that if I am not trustworthy with my money here (no matter how much or little I have), I will be unfit to handle the vast riches of God's kingdom? 

4. Am I letting my integrity slip in small matters? 

5. Is it important to choose my words well and to avoid reacting until I clearly understand what other people say?

6. Is it often difficult to find people I can really trust? Am I someone others can trust? 

7. Is my life characterized by punctuality, responsibility, honesty, and hard work?

8. The Bible begins with the majestic story of his creation of the universe, and it concludes with his creation of a new heaven and a new earth. Do I know God is trustworthy?
