Taxes will come due every year. Stop lights will turn red. Such laws are powerful incentives to good performance on our part. And for the twice-born person, this is also a given. The eye cannot say to the hand, I have no need of you, nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.
Accountability is assumed.
It is a given, not an option. When we accept a secular job, we automatically accept responsibility to our superiors, peers and subordinates. We may play different roles at different times, one time as a leader, another time as follower. But accountability is always part of the job. Too often in the work of the ministry, we forget that.
