CHEAP SUBSTITUTES FOR BIBLICAL ACCOUNTABILITY CHEAP SUBSTITUTES FOR BIBLICAL ACCOUNTABILITY Congenial relationships = stay nice, avoid conflict Cooperative relationships = stay busy, avoid contact Conforming relationships = stay the same, avoid diversity Consoling relationships = stay positive, avoid confrontation (Peter vs. Jesus – “Get behind me Satan”) Counselling relationships = stay ill, I need the esteem Controlling relationships = stay weak, I need the power Connecting relationships = Spiritual Community
