Questions for week Jan 10th - 16th



Guardrails
Drive Carefully


1) Just for fun: If you made New Years Resolutions, how are you doing on them?


You rarely notice guardrails until you are in an accident where one saves your life. The damage done by hitting a guardrail is minor when compared to what you would have hit had it not been there. Guardrails. They’re good things.

1. Have you ever been in a car accident involving guardrails or medians?

2. In your life, was there a time where guardrails might have been helpful if you would have had them into place?

3. What guardrails have you set up in your life?

4. “Our culture does not promote guardrails. Culture is content with just a painted line.” Do you agree or disagree? What are some examples from our culture?

5. Read Ephesians 5:15-17. Which phrases from those verses resonate with you the most?

6. In verse 18, the apostle Paul uses alcohol to illustrate his point about debauchery. What areas of your life do you struggle with “losing control”?

7. In which areas of your life have you been dancing on the yellow line? Listen to your conscience. Pay attention to the Holy Spirit. Where do you need to set up some guardrails? How can we pray for you about this?

MOVING FORWARD

Nobody plans to enter into a violent marriage. Nobody plans to ruin his or her finances. Nobody plans to struggle with an addiction. What steps do you take to make sure these things don’t happen? Set up guardrails. You can tell yourself that you’ll “be careful.” Well, setting up guardrails is how you “be careful.”
