What does the Bible say about accountability in church leadership?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible emphasizes accountability in church leadership through the example set by King Jehoash and the priests who were responsible for repairing the temple (2 Kings 12:4-10).

In 2 Kings 12, we see King Jehoash hold the priests accountable for their failure to repair the temple despite the resources provided for that purpose. Jehoash recognized that the financial contributions of the people were not being properly managed and instructed the priests to receive funds directly for the work needed in the Lord's house. This reflects a biblical principle of accountability where leaders are responsible not only for the stewardship of resources but also for maintaining the integrity of worship and the house of the Lord. It serves as a reminder to modern church leaders of the need for transparency and proper management in their duties, as they are ultimately answerable to God for how they shepherd His people and resources.
