If you've been journeying with us in our series, Rumble Strips, my guess is that every time you go down the highway and drift over the line on the rumble strips, you will remember a part of this series. I pray that it has been helpful and challenging. It has been a joy to share with you where God has been leading.
After the message yesterday, I had a few questions come my way, so I wanted to share with you the right questions that I have used in my life to remain accountable. Now, I must admit that I haven't always allowed these questions to be asked or answered. There have been times where I've cheated and lied to myself and to the friends I've given permission to rush into my life to ask these hard questions. Therein lies the problem. These questions are only as good as you are willing to be honest and vulnerable. If you cannot be honest, there is no point in having someone ask you these questions. If you are not willing to admit to someone that you have slipped up in an area, you will find accountability meaningless. The purpose of these questions is not to run through a check-list and get this segment of your discipleship finished. Rather, its aim is to help you grow. Here is what I do to make these questions work. I meet weekly with a trusted friend for coffee or lunch. I give my friend permission to ask all or none of the questions each week. I also give them freedom to look through my computer and my phone. With the iphone's screen time feature, I have even given my friend permission to restrict certain features on it. I share this with you, not to prescribe something for you, but to offer a method or system that you might find helpful as well. So. Here are the questions:
I pray that this may be helpful for you as you grow in your relationship with Jesus Christ. -Pastor Michael
