  1. Laws of the Land

  2. Laws of God / Laws of Love

• Irresponsibility is in all of us.

• Genesis 1:27-28

• You were created to be responsible, and you will be happiest when you live responsibly in every area of your life.

• Genesis 3:8-9

• God is still pursuing you, not to pay you back––but to win you back.

• Genesis 3:10-11

• Your choices are far more powerful than your circumstances. 

• Genesis 3:12-13

• Conflict is the price you pay for irresponsibility. 

• Blame just lets us smuggle the issues of our past into our future. 

• Listen to your blame.
