This is another of my why, oh why’s. I probably can write an entire book on ‘Why’s?’. “For I do not understand my own actions [I am baffled and bewildered by them]. I do not practice what I want to do, but I am doing the very thing I hate [and yielding to my human […]

In my world of words and definitions, accountability fits into the same category as ‘covenant’ – little understood, rarely used. And, who’s it for? What’s it mean? What’s it ‘for’ and ‘Why”? So since I believe it is incredibly important, I’m going to share my definitions and thoughts as a counterpoint to what you may
There’s an old saying that goes: “You never appreciate what you have until you don’t have it.” True. I think I would add… do we really know and understand what that ‘it’ is?

I realize that there are countless number of books written about covenants and what they mean and how they form our relationship. This is really an introductory discussion but I believe, especially for Christians, that it is important to realize that when we become Christians, we enter into a covenant with God. Therefore, it’s important
“The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can’t receive the gifts of God’s Spirit. There’s no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God’s Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God’s Spirit is doing, and can’t be
