Accountability?

This is just a very short post to remind people to ask one very important question.

Who is your pastor accountable to?

If the answer is anyone but the congregation, you have a problem.

This is a serious problem at Milestone (as well as thousands of other churches).

Who is Jeff Little accountable to? To whom could we turn if we felt we were being unfairly put out of fellowship with our spiritual family? Did we have a number to call?

Was Jeff Little responsible for answering to us? No way. His "accountability" is some other pastor in a different state. That guy never called us to ask how we thought our pastor was doing.

And this brings me to another point. Are you afraid of confronting your pastor? Many people are. Why? What will happen if you do? Will you be pushed out? Will you be "in the loser box?"

Just some things to think about. You might want to go back and read the gospels again (particularly John) and see what Jesus has to say about leadership and authority and how we are to relate to one another.
