Today we live in a society that has actually institutionalized blame, and as a result, very few people take responsibility for their actions. Instead they blame others for the situation that they find themselves in, and for Christians this mindset is unbiblical. The bible in-structs us to take up our cross and follow Him. Luke 9:23 Then He said to them all, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Maturity starts when we stop making excuses and start making changes. Whoever you blame, you empower.
