Facebook Accountability

While our family was in Greer, TBC's high school youth students were at summer camp. I don't know all the amazing things that God did there, but I do know that our students came back with a hunger and thirst for God's word. Praise Him!!

One of the female students set up a Facebook group so that the girls can hold each other accountable. They have decided to begin by reading through the book of James together. Then they post insights and questions that they have.

It is such a neat idea and so simple. I am loving hearing how God is speaking to them through His word.

Now my question for you: Do you have a few friends who would be willing to read through the Bible with you on Facebook? I don't think this cyber interaction will ever replace face-to-face; heart-to-heart conversations about the word, but it is a good way to stay daily accountable for your quiet time.

I encourage you to ask a couple friends if they'd like to read and discuss with you. : )

James 1:1-5

To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations:

Greetings.

Trials and Temptations

² Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, ³ because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. ⁴ Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. ⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.
