They sacrifice their own pleasure and comfort to minister to people in need, whether that involves helping them move to a new house, providing support for people in crisis, or just lending a neighborly hand to someone who needs some assistance. Develop accountability and mentoring programs. There is a vast difference between accountability and judgementalism. Accountability seeks to hold the person responsible for his or her thoughts, actions and attitudes in order to encourage and foster spiritual growth. Judgementalism desires to condemn the person to lower their standing in order to elevate oneself.
Accountability focuses upon the issues and needs of others.
Judgementalism focuses only upon one's own issues, desires and attitudes. Judgementalism flows from one's arrogance and pious self-righteousness. A church that genuinely loves one another will develop mentoring relationships between people in order to hold one another accountable. Dr. Glenn C. Daman, editor.
