It’s all my fault, is not a phrase that you expect to hear all the time.  My three year old daughter will tell me this when she gets in trouble.  Most of the time we hear people say it’s not my fault.  They begin to blame everyone from parents, grandparents, teachers, preachers, even society in general.  No body wants to accept the guilt for their own actions much less the actions of others.  With society falling to pieces and the family falling right behind it, we need to start finding out who is really responsible for it.  Well allow me to be the first to say I accept responsibility for what is going on in the United States.  You might want to argue but allow me to continue before you turn me off.  The world does exactly what it has been taught to do.  They don’t know any better. We the church need to begin to take the responsibility that is ours to bare.  You see we have the manual on how to live life amongst everyone.  Nehemiah said it best when he was broken over the state of Jerusalem.  We find these words is chapter one starting in verse six.  Let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel which we have sinned against you.  Even I and my fathers house have sinned.  We have acted very corruptly again you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules that you commanded your servant Moses.(Nehemiah 1: 6-7 ESV)  Did you see that.  He said he sinned.  Why because he didn’t do what was expected of him.  We are expected to share Jesus with a lost and dying world.  We should be going and making disciples.  Will that fix everything that is wrong in our country?  Probably not, but it sure would help.  We have generations who have no clue who Jesus is.  Why???  Because we the church, I as a pastor have sinned and not done what the Master has called me to do.  You see it is my fault as well as yours.
