Responsibility is Our Priority...

Responsibility to God must be taught, lived, and never forgotten. It should be the priority of our being. Every decision should be run through His way of thinking before being acted upon. The consequences are s screwed up, distorted life that has little hope, resulting in hurting people continuing to hurt people. Our sinful nature is the cause, but it’s our pride that keeps us there. There is a remedy, but repentance is very popular.

3 But it is too late.The people of Israel have rejected what is good,and now their enemies will chase after them.4 The people have appointed kings without My consent,and princes without My knowledge.By making idols for themselves from their silver and gold,they have brought about their own destruction. 5 “O Samaria, I reject this calf–this idol you have made.My fury burns against you.How long will you be incapable of innocence?6 This calf you worship, O Israel,was crafted by your own hands!It is not God!Therefore, it must be smashed to bits. 7 “They have planted the windand will harvest the whirlwind. Hosea 8:3-7a

11 “Israel has built many altars to take away sin,but these very altars became places for sinning!12 Even though I gave them all My laws,they act as if those laws don’t apply to them.13 The people of Israel love their rituals of sacrifice,but to Me their sacrifices are all meaningless.I will hold My people accountable for their sins,and I will punish them.They will return to Egypt.14 Israel has forgotten its Maker and built great palaces,and Judah has fortified its cities.Therefore, I will send down fire on their citiesand will burn up their fortresses.” Hosea 8:11-14
