The Preventative Function of Accountability Relationships

From page 69:
Sin needs darkness to grow--it needs isolation disguised as "privacy," and prideful self-sufficiency disguished as "strength." Once these conditions prevail, sin is watered with the acid of shame, which then makes darkness appear more attractive to the sinner than the light. But when we walk in the light by confessing our sins, we realize that we are not alone in our struggles, and we open ourselves to the protective rebukes and loving corrections that function as pesticidies to curb the destructive and enslaving potential of habitual sin.

From Paul (the pastor not the hurricane):
I appreciate so much the emphasis in the chapter on relationships which make correction possible as well as profitable. I am always prone, like the rest of us, to want to correct someone else's theology, attitude, or behavior while honestly belieiving there is nothing in need of correction in my own theology, attitude, and behavior. But in a real relationship my theology, attitudes, and actions will come out and call for correction.

Here's my question: How do we cultivate those relationships while being so busy?
