CHECK YOUR ATTITUDEWhat are our “Attitude Indicators?”

CHECK YOUR ATTITUDEPhilippians 2:5-8 NIV Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped;   but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.   And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death— even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,   that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,   and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

It’s roots are inward but it’s fruit outward.

It is our best friend or our worst enemy.

It is more honest and more consistent than our words.

It is an outward look based on past experiences.

It is never content until it is expressed.
