Accountability-Do You Believe In It?
 

1 Corinthians 4

1.Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.

2.Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.


Do you believe in accountability, and in being accountable to someone?
After all, whether you believe in it or not you already have accountability in
your life.
You are accountable to your spouse, your children, your job, your Church.

Do you believe in being accountable to someone?

Most definitely! If you aren't accountable to someone, you could get yourself into a heap of trouble.....like a child who has no boundaries set for them....JMO

I believe that accountability is the best assurance of integrity.

Everyone should have a system of checks & balances at work in their lives.

Amen. I agree!

Yes, do you believe it is Biblical though?

I believe you provided some biblical stand for accountability in your first post correct?

I believe that it is quintessentialy Christian (although I would have to do a study into the word on the subject) and speaks to integrity.

:ty And all the saints said, "AMEN"!:praying

maybe out of context, but soo needful:

we are accountable to our brethren in the sense that:

...if we see a brother in a fault, we are commanded to restore them...

POTD!

This deserves a thread all its own!

Blessings, Rhoni

So true!

I might add this, restore such an one in the spirit of Meekness!

EVERYBODY is accountable to someone. Whether it would be to a boss, a spouse, a parent, a friend................ Doesn't matter. There is no one is not accountable to someone. And in the end, we are all accountable to GOD - the most important "someone".

Yes, Amen!
And he is the one that counts.

when we help our brothers and sisters in the Lord, with a Godly attitude, there would be a lot less hurt among eachother. I know this first hand...as with many of you.... You can even apply this to those out of the body of Christ. When you are dealing with people who don't know God's ways, you have a great opportunity to share God's mercy with them...We are accountable to the lost, to tell who Jesus is....For we sometimes, are the only Jesus that they see.... We have a lot to be accountable to!

I'm waiting for someone to show up and say that th eydon't believe in accountablity.

;)

Accountability is for compromisers.


:ranting

I sure do and the date is April 15th every year.

Yes we all need to be accountable to others,no man is a island unto himself.

hey, some like being an island.... now stay away from my shoreline and we'll get a long fine..

You're drifting too far from the shore.I'll throw out the lifeline to you.

How do preachers have accountability when the move is to be sovereign

IRS tax day...

Accountability only works as long as the person is submitted to those he is accountable. Just ask Jimbo and Jimmy Boy's accountability board if accountability works.

Excellent point...
