“Confess your sins…” James 5:16
March 29, 2022 - There was a story in today’s news about a man paralyzed by a gun shot wound who wanted to “buy out the gun manufacturers and melt down all their guns.” This is an all too-familiar American story… just another case of blaming inanimate objects for human sins and errors.
Americans are notorious about blaming others for their bad habits. We blame tobacco companies for our smoking habits in the same way that some overweight people blame fast food chains for their obesity. It’s sad to see such a departure of human reasoning.
The Bible teaches us that we (and no one else) are responsible for what we eat and smoke, but many had rather blame it on someone else.
The Blame Game is as old as the Garden of Eden and is still a favorite. But it’s a game that no one should play…
… because no one wins.
