Examining ourselves in the Light of God’s Word is a very wholesome and correct practise. One way we can do this is by listening attentively to God’s Word in Church. If we fall asleep during the sermon in Church habitually we not only offend the Preacher or Teacher, we offend God. We also fail to examine ourselves. Further, we examine ourselves through our careful personal reading of the Bible. People who pray need to be very careful how they pray. We should never pray without the Word of God, we should never turn lights out before we pray long prayers. If we emphasise prayer and neglect the Word of God, we open ourselves to a multitude of sins, even presumptuous sins, through our prayers.
