Monday nights is the FMO (For Men Only) gathering and we start a new study next week called "the accountable man." Last night we hosted a praise, worship and prayers night. Though the numbers were small, 80-100 men, it was powerfully moving, touching the men right in their hearts (me too of course).
The book we will be studying from, the same book we base our saturday morning men's group, exhorts me to find a small group of others who will help carry their burdens, men they can be accountable to in the areas that they fall short.
We have been praying for this concept to be encouraged at our church because we have seen our lives transformed and our faith deepened because of such accountability and transparency. What a blessing. Our foundation verse for the group:
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
This practice has been foundational in getting to a point of forgiveness and to getting me through the roughest times, having brothers who know me intimately, brothers who I can count on to pray for me as I enter into difficult scenarios, brothers who will pick me up and help dust me off when I fall, brothers who will carry me and care for me until I am healed when I am deeply wounded.
I love my life!
