How To Overcome Excuses. Part [8] 03/24/2026 (Morning thought)

Genesis 3:11 And he said, who told thee that thou was naked? hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

Social Media addiction lawsuits were very recently brought against Facebook, because of the alleged addictive nature of some content. While it is true that there can be some level of magnetic pull, your personal responsibility as a parent, or an individual should not be excused, as if persons have no choice whatsoever in the matter. Furthermore, the famous chatbots such as Claude, Bestie, Alexa, ChatGpt, DeepSeek, Gemini, and Grok cannot and should not be entirely blamed for your failures.

I do not know of any instance where TikTok forced anyone by their throat, and made them do things against their will. And, in the day of final accounts, God will not be accepting excuses that Facebook or TikTok, forced us to do it, even though there may be some level of addictiveness. The tendency to remove all responsibility from the person, and place blame squarely on the shoulders of others, or situations, is one of the issues we must address.

Social influencing has always been around, ever since the day Adam fell, for this is where the habit of making excuses came from. In other words, if God didn’t make the tree, if He did not make the woman, and if He had not allowed the serpent anywhere near the tree this would’ve never happened. Thus, basically in a nutshell, they laid the blame squarely on God….12 And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Genesis 3:13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, what is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

How To Overcome Excuses. Part [7] 03/24/2026 (Evening thought)

Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

After God promised to remove any language barrier, the excuses Moses made became void. When God calls anyone to serve in His kingdom, He does not ask them to take the burden of fulfilling His will to themselves. Once they make themselves available, all of the other pieces of the puzzle will fall in place, by the power of God, as they always do….. Acts 2:6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

Acts 2:9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, 10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes…. 11 Cretes, and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God…. [Patriarchs & Prophets pp 255] A man will gain power and efficiency as he accepts the responsibilities that God places upon him.

[5] Excuses of social influence, or peer pressure. This one is huge, because in our day we have the phenomena of social influencers who may in some instances do good, if they are being led by God. But very often, influencers prey on the gullible and the weak, and thus, lives have been lost when folks, especially the young, and the restless, may take bad advice that is thus given.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
