Alone = In Trouble! The need for Accountability

Here's a great post from some of our American WOL friends.

The truth is - NO man is an island unto himself.

We were created for community and it is not good for us to be alone. I'm regularly reminded of Hebrews 3:12-13 which says, "Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin."
None of us would say we desire an "evil unbelieving heart" or blatantly want to "depart from God" but if we are not heeding verse 13 that will be the sad reality.
If you are alone in the Christian life with no one to talk to, confess to, be confronted and exhorted by, pray with and be encouraged by, YOU ARE IN TROUBLE! Our hearts are deceitful. We desperately need daily exhortation to keep our lying, rationalizing heart and it's desires in check.
