Who is Responsible? or Not My Fault!

The wussification of America is almost complete. I know the word does not exist, but I have created a new phrase to fit what is happening in our country. There was the day in America that people were strong enough to stand up and say, "I made that decision and right or wrong I still am the one who is responsible". Not so any more in this great land of freedom, no one wants to be responsible for what they do or say. The legal industry has something to do with this state of mentality, the public un-education system has something to do with this, as well as many well meaning parents and some parents that should have never been parents, and finally the church had a hand in this too. Where ever the pointer lands we need to understand what it means.
The USA is no longer the home of the brave and land of the free, if this path continues. This country was founded by men and women who were willing to stand up and fight the world super power of the time for freedom. Patrick Henry is often quoted "Give me liberty or give death", he knew if the American Revolution failed he and many others would be hung as traitors and was willing to stand up and be counted as that for freedom. He took responsibility, he and the others of the outlaw colonial revolt were convinced that God had a mission and that was the freedom of America, where people could take responsibility for themselves.
The funny thing is that God gives us the freedom to take responsibility for our spiritual lives as well as our physical lives. I find the two are connected at the deepest level, people who don't want to take responsibility for their physical life and the mess that they have created, never take responsibility for their spiritual life either. Have you ever given that any thought? If you do, you will find that it is a true statement.
Freedom is a two edged sword and one must learn to handle it without getting cut, you have the freedom to chose which path you will take, failure or success. You are the one who decides which path, you can blame it on someone else and deny your responsibility, but it was you who made the decisions.
God gives you an escape hatch, if you will use it. The first step is taking responsibility for your mistakes and admitting guilt, I made the mess and I don't know how to fix it. This applies to your spiritual life and physical life as well. Step two is ask Jesus to forgive you and take over as Savior and Lord. This is the step that most people fail at and don't know it. Jesus will be your savior, but to have victory you must let Him be Lord and have control. That means you must learn to listen and do what He directs and take responsibility for doing what He wants you to do. If He is not your Lord, you may not be His child, remember the verse,"Depart from me" Matthew 7:23. At this point it will be too late to blame someone else.
What to do? Take responsibility for your actions, ask Jesus to be your savior and Lord, listen and respond. Don't pass the buck on this one, no one can get you out of this except your self with Jesus.There is no "free pass".
God Bless
