Episode 43: Accountability in 2020

 

 

We all feel drawn to the calendar and want to make plans when it comes to the new year.

 

Accountability is a key factor in improving in your faith walk

 

Being a disciple of Christ  - accountability is vital    

You can't be a growing  follower of Christ without accountability relationships

 

accountability to God - seems like a no brainer but we have to be open and honest with God

 

 

accountability to others

                           1. Honesty with our spouse

 

                           2. openness with a a close Godly friend

 

                           3. accountability to your church - 

                                       a. We tend to buck at this - we are the leader  - they are                                                accountable to me not me to them.   Unhealthy - Jim                                                  Jones, David Karresh, etc

Philippians 2:5-11 New Living Translation (NLT)

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

    he did not think of equality with God

    as something to cling to.

7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b];

    he took the humble position of a slave[c]

    and was born as a human being.

When he appeared in human form,[d]

8  he humbled himself in obedience to God

    and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor

    and gave him the name above all other names,

10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,

    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,

    to the glory of God the Father.

 

Accountability to our church shows:

We really do love them

We are a servant leader like Christ

They can trust us.
