Good morning.
One of the benefits of being in a "Life Group" is that we can pray for each other and support each other. One of the benefits less spoken of is accountability.
The Bible has a lot to say about accountability. But for many of us, the idea of sharing personal information feels uncomfortable and seems like an invasion of privacy. Being answerable to someone else seems like a hindrance to the pursuit of pleasure, prosperity, and prestige.
James tells us that we are to support each other in this regard: “Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed” (James 5:16).
Accountability in the body of Christ is a biblical principle. Paul tells us to "submit to one another out of reverence for Christ"
(Ephesians 5:21)
Irrespective of our position in life, everybody is to be accountable to somebody. God planned for us to need each other; we truly are better together.
Blessings.
Mike and Daphne
