Take It Like a Grown Up

When we dishonor and disobey God, we have no one to blame but ourselves. All that we do comes out of the depth of our hearts. It is interesting that when we do something good we want all the credit, but when we do something evil we want to blame someone else. Everyone comes from a disfunctional family because no parent is perfect. What excuse did Adam and Eve have, their parent was the Almighty God Himself? If we think our parents are to blame, then how long do we get to keep using them as the excuse for our sinful choices? All the rest of our lives for every sin? No. We only begin healing when we see that we alone are responsible for every choice we make.

If we think psychology has the answers to mans sinful nature, think again. Psychology was born out of unregenerate mankind's attempt to indulge in sin without conscience. It has produced the apostate church we have today and further fanned the flames of wickedness in the unsaved man. The world has been using psychology for several generations to "help" people, and our world is far worse than it has ever been. God's way is the only way, and that is to stand up and admit our sin like mature men and women and joyfully take our punishments, knowing that we deserve it. This is the only path to cleansing and restoration in the soul of man.
