Accountability (Life Raft Lesson)
I taught on accountability last night. I could tell that some people were doing serious thinking. I pray they take action (starting with prayer) on this.
Here are some Bible References:
Proverbs 27:17
Hebrews 10:35
Ecclesiastes 4:12
Hebrews 3:13
Galatians 6:1-2
1Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted. 2Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.
Here are some questions you may want to use - I have many more. Or you can Google it.
1. Have you been spending consistent time with God this week? In his Word? In prayer? What are you praying about at this time?
2.How has the Holy Spirit been speaking to you recently?
3.Is there something in your life which God is asking you to do, but you just haven't obeyed yet?
4.Are you struggling with any areas of temptation/sin? Sins of the tongue or eyes, sexual temptation, dishonesty, integrity, work ethic, etc. etc.
5.Go through all of your relationships: immediate family, other cell members, co-workers, extended family, and all other associates. Are there any unresolved issues between you and any other person? Do you know of anyone who holds a grudge against you? Do you hold a grudge against anyone else?
6.Do you have any un-confessed sin in your life? Has God been bringing a past event to your mind recently, which you need to make right?
7.Are you experiencing or feeling a lot of the following: Fear, Guilt, Selfishness, Grumpiness, Anger, Sadness, or Pride?
8.Where are you financially right now? Are things under control? Are you burdened with too much debt? Do you have a budget? Are you tithing?
9.Where are you serving? Are you using the gifts and abilities God gave you to advance his kingdom and build up his church?
10.Have you spent time with a non-Christian this past month?
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD? STORY? HELPFUL IDEAS? BOOK? GREAT QUESTIONS FOR FORMAT?
WHAT IS KEEPING YOU FROM BEING ACCOUNTABLE?
