Spiritual Test
Even when we come across test questions that seem simple on the surface, we find that they're often not as simple as we first thought.

When a test asks, ''Which country manufactures Panama hats?'' the correct answer is Ecuador.
Here's another: From what animal do we get cat gut? From sheep and horses of course.
In which month do Russians celebrate the October Revolution? In November.
What was King George IV's first name? Well, everyone knows it was Albert.
Ah yes...many test takers are glad to be out of school...far away from trick questions like that thought up in some teacher's lounge.
But as far as we try to get from the rigors of the academic life, we find our lives are filled with other kinds of tests. We take driver's tests, drug tests, polygraph tests, sobriety tests, eye tests, entrance exams. People in law enforcement have to qualify on the shooting range at least four times a year; many of you have to take a test for your chosen profession. Like it or not, tests are a part of life.
But is there a test to determine whether a person is on the right track spiritually?
