The missing link in most of our lives is accountability. We get off track because we are not regularly answerable for each of the key areas of our lives to qualified people to whom we have given permission to ask the hard questions — questions about the goals we set and the standards God has established. We have learned that accountability here and now is important because God will ultimately hold us accountable for everything we do. Accountability goes far beyond mere counsel or fellowship; it requires answers to the questions — sometimes hard questions — we are asked.
