The Lame Games We Play 2: The Blame Game - Pastor Chris Fluitt
Full sermon notes available here: http://redemption-church.com/sermons/blame-game/
The Blame Game is a follow up to The Shame Game. And it is no fun!
When shame comes at us because of the wrong we have done, we will be tempted to play a new game. The Blame Game is played by redirecting the shame through blame. We never really own the shame, we deflect the shame towards something or someone else.
The Blame Game is like a spiritual game of PONG. The pixelated ball of shame comes toward us, only to meet our PONG paddle and bounce away.
Blame never takes responsibility. And this is a HUGE problem. It was a problem in the Garden of Eden when God spoke with Adam & Eve. Rather than confessing and seeking forgiveness they deflected the shame through blame. Adam blamed Eve & God. Eve blamed the snake. Neither Adam or Eve took responsibility.
There is no way to be forgiven and play the blame game. In order to be forgiven you must admit that you have sinned and need forgiveness. Are we ready to put our PONG paddle down and stop playing the Blame Game?
