"The Church's approach to an intelligent carpenter is usually confined to exhorting him not to be drunk and disorderly in his leisure hours, and to come to church on Sundays. What the Church should be telling him is this: that the very first demand that his religion makes upon him is that he should make good tables." -Dorothy Sayers

“If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare wrote poetry, like Beethoven composed music; sweep streets so well that all the host of Heaven and earth will have to pause and say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper, who swept his job well.’” -MLK

What are the big problems with accountability groups? How can men use correction to turn others to Christ? These are some of the topics touched on as Tim Storm and Michael DeGroat are joined by Ruedi Schubarth for a discussion on accountability.

STUFF IN THE EPISODE:

Accountability is calling others up in the context of mutually transparent relationships, in grace, and correction with Love, for the purpose of Pointing Christward.

Ruedi talked about goal setting here: We discussed that in more depth in episode 4.

“How does moral erosion occur?  No church suddenly splits. No marriage suddenly breaks up. No tree suddenly falls.  No business suddenly fails.  No school suddenly closes. No life suddenly ends in shame. It is a slow, secret and subtle falling away. Moral erosion is never publicly announced, and rarely is it admitted. You would think certain heroes of the faith are solid as a stone in their walk. Certainly, their eyes never drift away.  Wrong! History has proven time and again the depravity of all humanity; every one of us is prone to wander. Remember, you are prone to wander.  Never forget that! We must acknowledge our depravity and steer clear of “the appearance of evil” (morally or socially worthless, wicked, bad, malicious, degenerate, debase.) Don’t watch that movie or linger at your computer or awaken that degeneracy within you. We must get tough on ourselves because we are always prone to wander.  “Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it.  Prone to leave the God I love.”   Dr. Charles Swindoll

“Prone to Love you Lord I feel it, Prone to Serve the God I love.” - Jason Clark 

Sadly, Jason has confused sanctification, maybe even glorification, with justification. -Michael

Ephesians 2

F3 accountability definition https://f3nation.com/accountability-q2-5-2/ 

Life Together - Dietrich Bonhoeffer

How to Correct Someone - Jordan Peterson

Cunningham's Law - “The best way to get the right answer on the internet is not to ask a question; it's to post the wrong answer.”
