Last night’s group accountability meeting was terrific.
I haven’t talked about my Monday night ventures in a while – it’s honestly a highlight of my week EVERY week. Usually a group of 5 or 6 guys gathers at Hacienda to go over a list of accountability questions with each other. These questions spark discussion from a group of guys who would normally rather be talking about music, cars, or playing frisbee. It’s been an incredible time.
In a ministry position – I believe it’s MANDATORY for me to have accountability with someone – I believe the LACK of accountability is part of what is wrong with today’s Church and is part of the reason we’re seeing fallen ministers by the handful as of late.
I not only have an accountablity “group” that I meet with every week, but I’m proud to have a “best friend”/accountability partner in Kory Pence and even the accountability that comes with being married to my Jessica. (“my Jessica” makes me sound so poetic, huh?)
I have internet accountability through x3watch and recommend it to EVERYONE who has an internet connection!
Without my “checks and balances” on a regular basis, I’m sure it would be easier to fall to certain temptations and shortcomings. I thank God for those who are willing to ask me questions – search THIS guy and make sure that I am where I need to be!
(and playing frisbee in the cold with a group of guys after accountability group is sure fun, too!)
Yet another typical RELEVANTbooks compilation “book”. I am not REALLY impressed with this day-long 15-minute here, 15-minute there read that I finished this afternoon.
Worship seems REAL on the United LIVE CDs that I own.
A great new album by the boys in Jars of Clay.
