2010 June 05 Talk is cheap...unless you go over your allotted cell phone minutes. Then it becomes very, very expensive. You see, the wireless powers that be have the right to monitor how you use your mobile time and to charge you accordingly. And at the end of the day, you (or your parents) are accountable to pay what is owed. But most likely, it's not you who is worried about the cell phone bill. It's probably your parents who want an explanation for why you sent 1,000 texts last month. In your mind, texting non-stop seems harmless because you've never had to pay for it. And grace is just as easy to take for granted. After all, we didn't have to pay for it, but Christ certainly paid a lot in order for us to receive it. So as receipients of that grace, we should be motivated to live in a way that demonstrates our gratitude. Romans 12:2 tells us, "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." Basically, we're to be standouts in a world of copycats. We're to be conformed to the image of Christ rather than the pattern of the world. And one of the best ways to make that transition is to put yourself in a place/relationship where you have to be accountable for your choices. This month's Girls United focus is "Accountability: Paving the Way for Spiritual Change," and we're issuing a challenge for you to find an accountability partner(s) and begin meeting this summer. To help you get started, we've put together a few resources for you, including a weekly discussion guide you can use to jumpstart your accountability time each week. Check it out: Accountability Ground Rules and Covenant Sheet Accountability Weekly Question Guide If you consistently allow others to speak truth into your life, I promise that your spiritual walk will never be the same. So take the challenge. Get real this summer and take the plunge into the rewarding world of godly accountability.
