Are we supposed to be responsible for our actions? How about responsibility for our response to the challenges and opportuities that we face in life? Here is an interesting post on another Blog about personal responsibility. As I reflect over my life and the people I’ve met, I’ve seen far too many people make excuses rather than accept responsibility for being where they are. I’ve seen far too many parents make excuses for their children rather than teaching them responsibility. In 1 Corinthians (7:24) Paul says we are responsible to God. It is a good thing to be able to observe your children as they grow up and become parents to see them as responsible adults. One reason I work with young people through soccer is that it’s the one way I have left to try to pass on the lessons of responsibility. What are you doing to teach responsibility?
