Good Article on Accountability Group
What do you guys (and gals) think of an accountability group that meets outside of smallgroups. I have been thinking for almost half a year now about such a group—specifically a men's group that meets and talk about struggles like lust, work issues, relationship with significant others or just healing broken relationships, etc. I tell you sometimes it's not easy to live according to God's will as a brother. I'm wondering if anyone feels the same?
Here's a good article I ran across recently about accountability group:

Fasting
GrX is planning a 40 days/nights of fasting starting on Monday October 9th. When I heard 40days/nights my thought was THAT'S a long time to fast. Sounds tough! Well pray and ask God to give you something that you could fast that's not so tough. The church staffs will be going on a juice fast. As for me I will fast from checking emails/going online after work (7pm or so). That's not easy but with those time offline I could spend doing other things like reading the Bible/QT, more prayer time, more quality face-to-face time with friends.
