Throughout our message series "4 Weeks To Live", God has really changed my perspective in the areas of 'what really matters' and 'LOVE'.

I have come to the conclusion that people will walk in either Love or Selfishness. A person chooses to walk in one or the other every day. What many people call love really isn't love at all. Real love - which is agape love, or the God kind of love - is unconditional, limitless, selfless and is not based on emotions. It is extremely tolerant. Unfortunately, many operate in selfishness. They live in human, emotional love, which has limits, is conditional, requires pre-qualification and has to be loved before it can love. Selfishness is the root of all sin, which is based in fear. As a result, our society is experiencing a tremendous amount of lawlessness, perversion and sin.

It's important that we pay close attention to timing of events that occur in our lives. We shouldn't allow time to float by or to let things just happen. For those with a destination in mind, you have to understand the value of providential moments. We serve a God with a purpose. He uses providential moments to effect and or change our current paths permanently if we are obedient. As we get closer to the end of this year of trying times, economic challenges and multiple job losses, it's imperative that we draw even closer to God.

There are four reasons people reject accountability:

1. They fear rejection
2. They feel embarrassed
3. They resent control by hostile people
4. They don't like facing any negative feelings

Everyone, including leaders, needs accountability through their relationships. Accountability is not something we need just when we're young Christians; accountability is for everyone. Accountability is a powerful tool that can launch many of us into the fullness God has for each of us.
