  17. HOW IS YOUR CPMA? Secular PMA advocates getting what you want, while CMPA emphasizes humility, servanthood and sacrifice. Secular PMA has a person look deep within to draw upon the reserves of “untapped human potential.” Paul talks about his own accomplishments as being worthless apart from the will of God Secular PMA wants us to be discontent with our circumstances; CMPA urges us to rejoice in any circumstance. Secular PMA does not look beyond this life. CMPA instructs us to look beyond it.

  18. How well am I combating social peer pressure? Am I taking stands all the time, some of the time or am I remaining silent for fear of retribution? How much has society changed since the days of “Leave it to Beaver” and “The Andy Griffith Show?” What has been the greatest influence on reducing Christianity’s influence? Do you view the church as a way to isolate from the world or a way to insulate from the world in order to gain strength to back into the world?
