John Wesley’s Holy Club Questions. These are 22 questions the members of John Wesley’s Holy Club asked themselves every day in their private devotions over 200 years ago.

1. Am I consciously or unconsciously creating the impression that I am better than I really am? In other words, am I a hypocrite?
2. Am I honest in all my acts and words, or do I exaggerate?
3. Do I confidentially pass on to another what was told to me in confidence?
4. Can I be trusted?
5. Am I a slave to dress, friends, work, or habits?
6. Am I self-conscious, self-pitying, or self-justifying?
7. Did the Bible live in me today?
8. Do I give it time to speak to me every day?
9. Am I enjoying prayer?
10. When did I last speak to someone else about my faith?
11. Do I pray about the money I spend?
12. Do I get to bed on time and get up on time?
13. Do I disobey God in anything?
14. Do I insist upon doing something about which my conscience is uneasy?
15. Am I defeated in any part of my life?
16. Am I jealous, impure, critical, irritable, touchy, or distrustful?
17. How do I spend my spare time?
18. Am I proud?
19. Do I thank God that I am not as other people, especially as the Pharisees who despised the publican?
20. Is there anyone whom I fear, dislike, disown, criticize, hold a resentment toward, or disregard? If so, what am I doing about it?
21. Do I grumble or complain constantly?
22. Is Christ real to me?

Makes you think, doesn't it?​
 
The only problem with this is that it causes you to be mostly self-centered during your devotions (me me me).. I think we only change and become more like Christ the more we center our thoughts on Him - what his concerns are - what he did during the day to bless us - his great grace - and especially the gift of His righteousness.
At least that is when I began to change.

Thank you, Joidevivre. You are right in that our focus should be more on Christ than anything else, including ourselves.

I will say, however, that upon reflection, the only thing we truly have any power to change or control over is ourselves. In that regard, introspection and self-realization are necessary steps toward improvement. I believe, in a Christ-based way, through scripture, the Holy Club questions attempt to aid us in taking that journey.
