    Be wise in our giving. Know how our churches budget their expenditures. Encourage leaders to speak openly open their compensation package. Bottom line, encourage transparency and accountability in the church.

    1. With that I totally agree. If there is not transparency there is no way to know where the money is spent. Though I do think a congregation can become too controlling. There needs to be a balance of accountability and respect, until that respect has been violated.

    2. Perhaps the avenue to respect is transparency?

    3. Certainly it is one of the fundamental requirements.
