Accountability Is Scriptural - In Touch Ministries - Charles Stanley
God planned for us to need each other; we truly are better together.
James 5:13-16
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.

He reported to the church (Acts 14:27), and Timothy was subordinate to him (1 Tim
