            How to recognise hidden sins

            'Oswald Sanders' lists in his book Spiritual Leadership, sins that can easily stumble a person if unrecognised. It is pride, jealousy, and selfishness. These sins are very destructive. The bigger problem is that even though you are committing a sin, you don't think it's a big deal.
            These sins are hard to recognise and hard to get rid of. If these sins are neglected in the house church, the relationships within the house church meetings will begin to break down invisibly. How can we realize these sins before it is too late? There are several easy methods to check.
            The way to spot pride is if you feel you are being treated unfairly, look at the reasons. If you feel that it is because someone inferior or less capable than you has taken charge of a position or ministry that you feel it should belong to you, it is most likely because you are arrogant. Also, look at how you react when others point out or tell you the weaknesses that you have and you have been trying to hide. If you excuse yourself without admitting it, or if you instead attack the other person, it will most likely mean that you are indulging in arrogance.
            There is an easy way to spot Jealousy as well. How do you feel when people are more interested in the new house church member in your house church? If you feel that you have been deprived of attention and love, you are jealous. If the shepherd asks you to help together in serving, but rather than complying with the request, you are looking for reasons not to cooperate, you must be jealous.
            Selfishness can also be easily discovered. How do you react when others are complimenting someone? If you say something demeaning of that person, or if you divert the topic and cut off their praise, you are almost certain that you are selfish and self-centered.
            By using these easy methods, do not indulge in sin unknowingly and destroy your neighbor and yourself! You can be aware.
