Why do people lose hope?
What keep you from doing right?
Have you meant to do something, but then thought, ‘I am too tired’?
What are the negative effects of laziness or apathy?
“What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? [15] Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. [16] If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? [17] In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.”
-James 2:14-17 (NIV)
How can you more consistently turn your knowledge of what is good into actions?
How can you be an encouragement to others to do the same?
Some people are over eighteen but don’t register to vote. How would you explain to them the importance of participation and contributing to the wisdom of our society’s choices?
Does thinking your contribution is ineffective hurt you? Others?
If voting is not something applicable to you now, what small things do you have control over but don’t take advantage of enough?
Do you have examples of missed opportunities you and others have passed by?
