Accountability Covenant

Accountability Covenant

 

   Feeling led by the spirit, and in accordance with Scripture, we do hereby enter into an accountability covenant with one another in order to strive for Christlikeness in the following areas:

  • Our relationship with the living God: spending time daily in prayer and Bible reading/meditation and leading family devotions in the same
  • Our relationship with our spouse: loving, listening, leading, lifting up, and to be faithful mentally and physically
  • Our relationships with others: purposefully working on building up and serving fellow Christians and being a positive witness by our walk and talk
  • Our grasp of God’s Word: regular intake, study and submission to God’s Word so steadily, constantly and frequently, as that we may find, and plainly perceive ourselves to grow in the knowledge of the same.
  • Our confrontation with sin: immediate and consistent confession, without compromise
  • Our integrity: do we mean what we say and say what we mean, and fulfill our promises
  • Our motivation: are we seeking our glory or God’s, whose kingdom are we seeking to advance
  • Our stewardship: surrendering our time, money and spiritual gifts to the Lord
  • Our Lord’s Day worship: faithfully attending and contributing to the worship of God on Sundays
  • Our character: more like Jesus
  • Our perspective: speech and spirit flavored with an attitude of gratitude
  • Our discipline:  laboring to use every moment of our time such that God would be pleased with our usage of it

 

We will meet every___________ in person, or by phone if necessary, to hold each other accountable, to pray, and to edify one another in the pursuit of holiness.
