Prevention works

John Maxwell, author and speaker on leadership, in an interview at Catalyst in 2006, said he heard Howard Hendricks say there are three things that people who fall morally have in common.

· They had no Accountability in their life.
· They were not continually reading the Bible.
· They never thought it would happen to them.

The last one concerned Maxwell.

Here are the three things that Maxwell did to change his life.

· He prayed this daily: ‘lead me not into temptation’.
· He got an Accountability partner and gave the partner questions to ask him regularly.
· He surrounded himself with Prayer partners.

Is there anything you need to do or change in your life to protect yourself from falling morally?
