God told me not to date you....

If I hear another person blame God for their actions I think I will scream. It seems that for the modern Christian God has become the ultimate scapegoat. Instead of owning up and taking responsibility for our actions we blame God. For example …..
A week or so ago I went on a date with a guy we’ll call him Jim. It was a decent first date mildly awkward but not repulsive. So that was Friday and on Tuesday Jim texts me and says that God told him not to date me. Then I find out from a friend that what really happened was a girl he had been crushing on for a while finally decided to return the feeling. That is a perfect example of a decent Christian guy letting God take the blame for his actions. I think it would have been better to just tell the truth.
I think the reason this has become such a problem is that Christians have become content to stay babies. When you are little you blame your parents for the choices you make but when you become an adult you are forced to take responsibility. So fellow Christians lets stop being babies and start taking responsibility for our choices.

  1. Hahaha. Oh man. Life can be so funny sometimes. People have such a hard time saying what they mean and meaning what they say. Is it so hard to just tell people the truth about how we're feeling?
