Accountability Questions

Here are some accountability questions that my accountability partner and I are using in order to keep us living a godly life. Feel free to use them as well.

  1. Have you spent daily time in Scripture and in prayer?
  2. Have you had any flirtatious or lustful attitudes, tempting thoughts, or exposed yourself to any explicit materials that would not glorify God?
  3. Have you been completely above reproach in your financial dealings?
  4. Have you spent quality relationship time with family and friends?
  5. Have you done your 100% best in your job, school, etc.?
  6. Have you told any half truths or outright lies, putting yourself in a better light to those around you?
  7. Have you shared the Gospel with an unbeliever this week?
  8. Have you taken care of your body through daily physical exercise and proper eating and sleeping habits?
  9. Have you allowed any person or circumstances to rob you of your joy?
  10. Have you lied on any of your answers?

Ledbetter is Tacky

In the March 19, 2007 issue of Southern Baptist Texan, Gary Ledbetter offered this tacky piece of journalism:

"Arlington pastor Dwight McKissic, who is black, issued an apology to board Chairman Van McClain of New York, who is white."

Mr. Editor, are these labels really necessary? Anyone familiar to any degree with the Southwestern Trustees/McKissic news are well aware of the said persons' skin colors.

Cha Cha Cha

This past Tuesday, Amy and I (along with our friends Egbert and Dia) began ballroom dance lessons. Learning the Cha Cha isn't the easiest thing I've ever done, but it was fun and enjoyable. Besides, it gave me another opportunity to dance with my lovely fiance.

I know what you're thinking. "Baptists don't dance." We do, but for some reason we don't like to talk about it. I once asked a pastor friend of mine, "Why are [Baptists] so against dancing?" He never gave me a good answer.

Some say it's because dancing leads to other things. You know what? They're right! Dancing leads mostly to tired feet and blistered toes. Seriously, I had a blister on my left big toe.

Tomorrow is Easter, the day when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. He is risen! He is risen indeed! Take time to thank Jesus for His love and for His death and resurrection.
