Two and a half years ago, John Piper wrote a moving article entitled “Don’t Waste Your Cancer.” I’m now observing one of my best friends, Matt Hoskinson, evidence God’s grace in yet another way—this time by modeling Piper’s wise advice. Check out Matt’s letter that Danny Brooks read to Heritage Bible Church this morning.

Christians will give an account to God for their lives, and wise Christians live in light of that sobering reality (Rom 14:12; 2 Cor 5:10). Consequently, we have covenanted to keep each other accountable in preparation for our future accounting. Since some of our friends have asked us about our method of accountability, we decided to co-author this article in order to glorify God by provoking other Christians to seek out a greater degree of accountability.
Matt Hoskinson’s fourth article in his commendable series on youth discipleship is now available:

I just added this entry to the “MP3s” page of my recommended resources:
Matt, who has a Ph.D. in theology from BJU, is a close friend. We overlapped just a little bit in our coursework, and I’ve benefited from his sharp mind, godly example, and wise advice. He occasionally blogs at “Debtor to Grace,” and he’s also a gifted preacher and teacher.
