Responsibility and Duty

Now we ask you, brothers, to respect those who work hard among you, who are over you in the Lord and who admonish you.  Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work.  Live in peace with each other.   I Thess 5:12-13 (NIV)

“Leaders have the God-ordained responsibility to be trustworthy and above reproach; meanwhile people have a God-ordained duty to honor and submit to their leaders.”  (quoted from VINTAGE CHURCH by Mark Driscoll)
