Christa, your post is so convicting! And right on! Thanks for the encouragement to obey ALL of God’s commands. I like your idea of brainstorming/writing down rules you tend to exempt yourself from. I will do this too!

This book sounds a lot like The Pursuit of Holiness, which was a GREAT book. I’ll have to read it. Even in having accountability, I can be focusing SO much on areas for that month that I neglect or find it is “okay” to spend time ignoring other sins. Thanks for this great reminder, Christa!

Thanks for your encouragement to obedience in all things. I think one area where we find it difficult to obey is when obedience doesn’t make sense to us personally. I have been reading in Luke this month, and was reminded of this by Peter in Luke 5:5. Jesus told him to “Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.”(v.4) Then in verse 5, “And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.”" You can imagine Peter thinking, I’m the professional fisherman, and I know this is pointless. Yet he obeyed. And you probably remember the rest of the story They caught so many fish their nets were breaking. What a great encouragement to obey even when it goes against our thinking or experience or even our ‘expertise’.
