Earthly Response to Suffering (James Part 5)

We like the blame game. It’s never our fault. That’s been the truth since the very beginning. Adam and Eve get caught after having eaten the forbidden fruit and what do they do? Eve blames the snake, Adam blames his wife and even blames God Himself and from that point on; the blame began. We don’t want to take responsibility and we want to as it says in Romans 2 that our conscience will excuse ourselves. The fact is that when we caught or when things go bad, we like to blame something and typically, it isn’t ourselves. That’s exactly what’s going on as we continue the first chapter of the book of James.
