Accountability at it’s Best!

We all need to stay true to the course by asking the tough questions. Here are few reminders to use in building a strong accountability system with a close friend or spouse.

Questions for establishing accountability

1.   Have you been with a woman anywhere this past week (day) that might be seen as compromising?

2.   Have any of your financial dealings lacked integrity?

3.       Have you exposed yourself to any sexually explicit material since we last met? Books, magazines, TV, etc.

4.   Have you spent adequate time in Bible study and prayer? 

5.   Have you given priority time to your family?

6.   Have you fulfilled the mandates of your calling in walking truthfully before God?

7.       Have you lied about any of the questions you have just been asked?

Rules to Assure Integrity for men!

1.   Never visit the opposite sex alone at their home if they are alone!

2.       Never counsel the opposite sex alone in your office. Leave the door open into the secretary’s office.

3.       Never go to lunch alone with a member of the opposite sex. Period!

4.       Never discuss detailed sexual problems with the opposite sex without this counseling being done in the presence of your wife.

5.       Do not playfully or good-naturally flirt with the opposite sex. (Example: Saying something like, “Why don’t you leave that guy your married to and come run away with me!” Satan will plant a seed in her mind, which could bring destruction into her marriage.

Some Questions Every One Should Ask Themselves Often!

 1.    Is your thought life pure?

2.   Have you spent time in the Word this past week?

3.   Are you mis-using your power or position?

4.   Are you walking in total obedience to God?

5.   Have you lied to yourself about any of the above questions?

If you will apply these you will build a strong hedge of protection around your marriage relationship.
