Making Excuses...

I got back last Wednesday from a long(er) trip than I had expected. Church on Sunday was good. I have been attending a Beachy church on my last few trips and will probably continue to attend after I move. The preacher was talking about making excuses and how we just need to take responsibility for our actions and not make excuses. He said that his son when asked to help with the dishes one night responded "it's too hot"...which got a nice chuckle from the women's side of the church :) He went onto add that he had just placed a fan pointing in the direction of the kitchen sink and it was probably the coolest place in the house at that point. Seems that in the midst of making excuses to get out of something that we don't want to do, we may also be giving up something? There aren't many times in the Bible that excuses are used, but here are the references for the ones that the preacher gave.

- Genesis 3:12-13
- 1 Samuel 15
- Exodus 3:10-11
- Exodus 4:1, 10
- Exodus 32:2, 24
- Acts 24
- Luke 14:16-24
- Ezekiel 18:5-9, 20
- Luke 10:30-36
- Revelations 20:12

Thought I would share with you the message :)

Blessings in Christ,
