'...accountability is not about being a private detective, trying to do the work of the Holy Spirit, being someone's else's conscience, forcing someone to obey, chasing someone who is running, or looking for someone who is hiding. Accountability provides loving structure, guidance, encouragment, and warning to someone who is fully committed to the change God is working in his life. The person who makes accountability work is always the person being held accountable.'
Paul David Tripp, Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands, p.269.
