In it he mentions (although admitting they are not his cup of tea) the growing popularity of Life Transformation Groups. Small groups of three that meet weekly to read the bible, pray together and ask each other a series of character building questions, basicly an accountability contract that invites all three to be frank and open about their failings and receive encouragement to continue to shape their lives to the will of God.
The questions:
- have you been a testimony this week to the greatness of Jesus Christ with both your words and actions?
- have you been exposed to sexually alluring material or allowed your mind to entertain inappropriate sexual thoughts about another this week?
- have you lacked integrity in your financial dealings or coveted something that does not belong to you?
- have you been honouring, understanding, and generous in your important relationships this week?
- have you damaged another person by your words, either behind their back or face to face?
- have you given in to an addictive behavior this week? Explain.
- have you continued to remain angry toward another?
- have you secretly wished for another's misfortune so that you might excel?
- (create a personalized accountability question)
- did you finish the reading and hear from God? What are you going to do about it?
- have you been completely honest with me?
Would you like to be part of one?
I don't think I would.
I wonder how they pick out partners?? I don't know too many people I could be that open & honest with.
