Accountability is scary. It feels like we are giving up control because we are. Accountability takes humility because we have to confess our weaknesses. We have to admit we are prone to sin and fall into temptation.

The enemy knows if he can get us to wander alone, we are a much easier target to eliminate. We avoid wandering alone by being in community and then letting people really see us.

Why accountability matters: Because God loves us too much to let us get caught up in something we could have avoided. We have to do better in this area and it starts in our own home.

What could be different:  You could walk in your calling but more importantly, you could live free. Things that are in the dark are the enemy’s playground. It’s time to kick him out.

Accountability isn’t just scary…it makes us sharper!

• Unsubscribe or unfollow anything tempting you
• Set a date (if it’s physical accountability) register for a race, etc
