James:\nWe live in a society where the idea of taking personal responsibility for our own actions is outdated, rejected and shunned by those even in the church. We blame everyone and everything else for our failures. "Hey, it's not my fault I turned out this way. I didn't have perfect parents, a perfect home life, perfect teeth, or a perfect education. I was deprived, misunderstood, unloved. After all, God made me this way. He could have changed things if He wanted to... but He didn't. It's all God's fault!" If you think so, you'd better keep listening.
