1. How am I "Loving the Lord my God" in my Bible reading and prayer time, quiet time, worship and giving?
2. How am I "Loving the Lord my God" in my marriage and with my children?
3. How am I "Loving the Lord my God" with the tension of "business vs. family"?

Heart:

What would the rest of my family say the condition of my heart is like? Assume that everything you say about your family can be heard by them, now speak accordingly.

Soul:

Assume that you have a one-on-one with Jesus in two weeks to discuss your relationship with each member of your family. Now live accordingly.

Mind:

Imagine that in two years you were in a serious car accident and you suffered brain damage. How would your next two years change in studying and teaching God's Word with your family?

Strength:

Assume that in three months you had a heart attack. Is there any family relationships that you need to mend?
