Accountability

Lighthouse Church Durban

Accountability helps us to grow mature and fruitful. Jesus modelled accountability as Son to his Father.

Accountability is built on submission - to God's authority and to godly authority.

Shame and fear make us avoid accountability. A selfish heart and a "seared" conscience can make us blind to our guilt and our responsibility for it.

Helpful ways forward are:

-to grow a habit of prayerful reflection and self-examination and

-to make ourselves accountable to trusted leaders.
