Accountability Questions

This is a list of accountability questions I’ve used in the past to help provide structure to accountability meetings or relationships that center around accountability. No man is an island and no one man is strong enough on his own to find victory all by himself in every facet of his life. Just as we don't heal in isolation we don't stay strong for long as the 'lone ranger'. As a guide and as a starter use the questions below:
Questions:
1) Have you spent daily time in the scriptures and in prayer?
2) Have you had any flirtatious or lustful attitudes, tempting thoughts or exposed yourself to any explicit materials which would not glorify God?
3) Are you consistently giving financially to the Lord's work?
4) Have you spent quality relationship time with your wife?
5) Have you done your 100% best at work?
6) Have you told any half truths or outright lies putting yourself in a better light to those around you?
7) Have you shared the Gospel or expressed your faith with an unbeliever?
8) Have you taken care of your body through daily physically exercise and proper eating/sleeping habits?
9) Have you allowed any person or circumstance to rob you of your joy?
10) Have you lied to us on any of your answers today?

Thought's on Robin Williams' Unexpected Death

It's no surprise that the untimely, premature, and unexpected death of Robin Williams has captured both our hearts and minds.  After all over the years we've invited him into our homes and paid to be entertained by him.  To say that he was a comic genius is still not the accolade that we feel best describes his talent.  His creativity, his quickness, his expressions have fascinated us to the point eliciting our admiration and dumbfounded response . . . "How could anybody do that?" The tweeted reactions declare our loss and echo a hope, possibly unfounded, that he is now entertaining angels in heaven.  Robin's search for personal happiness and fulfillment led him such that he ended his life this side of heaven by asphyxiation, hanging by his belt. Heaven is a part of our Christian belief system - it has made its way into the fabric of our collective DNA and consciousness.  Unfortunately what so many apparently believe is heaven is 'our gift' to someone we...

El Salvador - August 2011

In just a few days a band of 8 will be traveling to Acajutla, El Salvador (August 28 - September 3, 2011) to partner with Living Water International (http://www.water.cc) to assist a local drilling/hygiene team in there efforts to provide a village with fresh, clean water. It must be pointed out that often times water is available in one form or another. It could be a hand-dug well close to a home. It could be a nearby stream where jug after jug can be hauled back to the home - often times by the women or children of the village. But think about it. If there is a hand-dug well and it is located next to the home you can easily believe that contaminated with all kinds of waste matter that has seeped into the water source that makes it germ infested. If there is a nearby stream more than likely it has also become a the spot for the entire village to bathe, to wash clothing, to take care of bodily needs. It also becomes a favorite gathering spot for animals. Now, use your imaginati...
This weekend (February 13 &14) our Church family will be introduced to our New Teaching Pastor on the North Campus, the one who will fill our pulpit and bring God's Word. It is always a challenge to pick up where another or others have left off. The campus I'm a part of has known some very, very good preachers historically. Whether it is David Lino or Doug Page, both had an unusual way of presenting God's Word with power and conviction. I found this little note the other day about Tullian Tchividjian, the present pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. I thought it spoke to the situation we are looking at on our campus. My heart's desire is that our new Teaching Pastor know beyond a shadow of a doubt that he is loved, prayed for, and given thanks for as he undertakes this new calling with all of its responsibilities. Here is the article: One of the hardest issues in pastoral life in following a long-time pastor who founded the church. That pastor’s identi...
