Workers in the Vineyard

Proverbs 4:18 But the path of the just is like the shining sun, That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.

1. Do you leave worship with the mind of apathy (a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation and passion.) or a mind to serve, encourage and teach others?

**Matthew 5:13-14 “You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.

2. Does the community know the church exists?

**Philippians 2:15 that you may become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

3. Are you doom and gloom? always negative? hypercritical? or are you joyful? peaceful? positive? do you have peace in your life?

**Philippians 4:6-7 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

**Proverbs 13:3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

**Proverbs 11:13 A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.

**Proverbs 26:20 Where there is no wood, the fire goes out; And where there is no talebearer, strife ceases.

**Proverbs 12:18 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

**Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.

**Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

4. Women should know how to dress for the occasion-- appropriately and modestly
You wouldn't wear an evening gown to a funeral- immodest -attracts attention

**1 Peter 3:4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

**1 Timothy 2:9-10 In like manner also, that the women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with propriety and moderation, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or costly clothing, but, which is proper for women professing godliness, with good works.

Immodesty is :
+ Too Revealing
+ Too Thin (material)
+ Too Tight
+ Too Clingy
+ Too Low Cut
+ Too Drabby

A Womens dress is a mirror to her mind

5. Is the worship you give for your pleasure and entertainment or for pleasing God?

**2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
