As I got out of the car, the wind pulled the door out of my hand ...read more

Contributed by Jeremy James on Nov 21, 2004

It Is Your Responsibility

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Nov 25, 2002

We can’t gussy up our attitudes or actions to make them seem righteous on the outside and think that we are pleasing God. It’s much better to be transparent and let God deal with you, than try to hide sin under a pretty blanket.

The latest answer when you are caught making a mistake, doing something wrong – even breaking the law is: There was an error in judgment. Not, I goofed, or I’m guilty – but an error in judgment was made. That goes right along with this one: "I assume responsibility for all of my actions, except the ...read more
