Brotherly Admonition that Encourages Accountability

Abstract

This paper explores the concept of accountability within the context of Christian ministry. The author delves into the theological and practical aspects of a pastor being accountable to God, himself, his calling body (congregation), and his fellow called workers in the ministry. Huebner discusses the challenges and responsibilities that come with pastoral ministry, emphasizing the need for self-assessment, continuous spiritual and professional growth, and constructive feedback from congregational members. The paper advocates for a balance between leadership and servitude, rooted in a deep understanding of Christian doctrine and a commitment to personal and communal growth in faith.
