I had originally posted this article, I wrote, in the Creative Section of this Forum, and felt I should post it in my blog, as the subject has come up again in my life by way of a daily e-mail course on purity from Be Broken Ministries. I am also providing a link to the Blazing Grace Radio show from 2005 about what accountability should look like. If you want to hear this program, go here.
