Accountability

Regarding this week’s lesson: “Growth is Intentional”, hard and fast accountability is key to successfully completing one’s responsibilities (see “accountable measures” in point 6 of this article). Lack of accountability permits lack of follow through on our commitments. For example, read the paragraph that mentions, “follow through” in this story about Washington Mayor Fenty. Notice the complaint that he loses interest in projects (and doesn’t dig into details). Those closest to him chose not to hold him accountable.

What means of accountability have you established for yourself in order to help you keep your spiritual commitments? For example, members could use their Bible study attendance record as an accountability measure, or some accountability questionnaire. Progressive members can try using accountability buddy.
