Excuses

Don't you just hate it when you catch someone red-handed making a lame excuse for something they did?  Doesn't it seem as if there is a "making excuses gene" in peoples DNA?  And yet, how often do we find ourselves making excuses?  Making excuses is probably the leading method of dodging personal responsibility.  We all do it.

How about a bit of a gut check now?  How are you as a man, husband, and father?

• How's your walk going?
• Are you growing spiritually?
• Are you leading a more Christ centered life than you were a month ago?
• Are you still excited about your salvation?
• How often do you just want to stop what you are doing and just pour out praise to God?
• Are you passionate about carrying the message to others?
• Have you gotten lazy in your walk, in your spiritual growth?
• Why?

What kind of excuses would you offer to God for any of your answers that might not be pleasing to Him or in accordance with how we were designed to be....in one with Christ?

Just sayin' !
