Serving others requires enough attentiveness to recognize the needs God places in front of us and enough compassion to let those needs interrupt our plans.

God has given every believer something valuable to contribute, and we glorify Him when we discover our gifts and faithfully use them to serve others.

Because Jesus came not to be served but to serve, His followers should gladly use their lives for others without needing position, recognition, or applause.

Biblical accountability requires more than finding trustworthy people to help us follow Jesus; it requires becoming the kind of gracious, truthful, and dependable friend who can help others do the same

Biblical accountability requires relationships where we are honest enough to be known and gracious enough to be safe. Through specific confession, prayer, intentional questions, and consistent conversations, we can help one another bring struggles into the light and pursue Christ more faithfully.

The people closest to you will inevitably influence the person you are becoming, so choose relationships that encourage you to pursue Christ more faithfully. Love everyone and minister to anyone, but make sure those with the greatest influence in your life are helping you move in the direction God has called you to go.
