Here are 13 questions, adapted from an old Puritan sermon, to help us identify the idols of our hearts:
- What do I most highly value?
- What do I think about by default?
- What is my highest goal?
- To what or whom am I most committed?
- Who or what do I love the most?
- Who or what do I trust or depend upon the most?
- Who or what do I fear the most?
- Who or what do I hope in and hope for most?
- Who or what do I desire the most? Or, what desire makes you most angry or makes you despair when it is not satisfied?
- Who or what do I most delight in or hold as my greatest joy and treasure?
- Who or what captures my greatest zeal?
- To whom or for what am I most thankful?
- For whom or what great purpose do I work?
