Accountability

In a national survey by the Barna Group among people who describe themselves as Christian and involved in a church discovered that only 5% indicated that their church does anything to hold them accountable for integrating biblical beliefs and principles into their life. http://www.barna.org/

The scripture states, "Obey your spiritual leaders, and do what they say. Their work is to watch over your souls, and they are accountable to God. Give them reason to do this with joy and not with sorrow" (Hebrews 13:17, NLT).


I think it is interesting that in the mega church there seems to be no accountability of the leaders and in the small churches the people want to hold the pastor accountable but do not want the pastor to hold them accountable
