Setting priorities, putting first things first is important. The question is how do you keep those priorities in place? Chip explores the essential elements that must be in place in order for you to be able to keep your priorities in line over the long haul.

The Problem: Many start well, but few finish well.

The Answer: Biblical Accountability

  • Definition: Biblical Accountability is enlisting the support of those who love me to help me keep my commitments to God.
  • Its Power: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

The Need: Why accountability is essential for spiritual success

Five Reasons:

  1. Because we never outgrow the need for PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY. -1 Corinthians 9:34-27
  2. Because past successes are no guarantee of FUTURE FAITHFULNESS. -1 Corinthians 10:1-5
  3. Because we constantly underestimate the power of our own SINFUL PASSIONS. -1 Corinthians 10:6-11
  4. Because we constantly overestimate our ability to handle TEMPTATION. -1 Corinthians 10:12
  5. Because we naively believe our struggles and temptations are UNIQUE. -1 Corinthians 10:13

Summary: "Therefore, my beloved, flee from IDOLATRY!” -1 Corinthians 10:14

The Means: “How to” develop accountability in relationships:

  • It begins at HOME.
  • In an atmosphere of LOVE.
  • It must be voluntary and by PERMISSION.
  • It must be SPECIFIC, not generic.
  • It must be REGULAR, not sporadic.
  • No more than 4 PEOPLE.
