Accepting Responsibility

Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth: It’s so easy to blame other people for our sin.

Woman: After twenty-three years of being active in church life, I was burned out. Well, my husband tried to help, but I was convinced he didn’t care. I thought if he was different, then I would be different, and our marriage would be different.

Nancy: Repentance is a key to revival. And one way to know that we’re truly repentant is that we stop blaming other people for our sin.

Woman: As God worked on my heart, I started to see my sin of pride. I stopped blaming my husband for my condition, and God delivered me from years of resentment.

Nancy: Have you been accepting full responsibility for your actions? Or do you find yourself blaming others? Would you ask God to show you any sin in your life? Then respond, not with blame, but with repentance. It’s the first step of seeking Him.
