John 15:22. From God's perspective there is no excuse for sin. Sin is simply being disobedient to God. It is in our human nature to sin. Sin started with Adam and Eve, our forefathers, in the Garden of Eden. Even though humans have a tendency to sin (steal, lust, idolize, and so on), we know in our heart of hearts that we are wrong. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve knew they had sinned against God and they attempted to clothe their nakedness, their shame. If we think about it, we all know when we are wrong and in disobedience to God.

Romans 2:1. Even though it is human nature to judge people that is no excuse to do it. God is very clear about us judging people – don't do it. We are to give people the truth, God's Word. We are not to use God's Word (the Truth) to be judge and jury over people. It does not matter how someone hurts you or is disgusting or just plain evil. These are no excuses to judge other people. God is the ultimate judge. If you judge people, God will judge you because you attempting to upsurge God's authority.

2 Kings 5:11. It is in our human nature to come up with good excuses not to obey God. One of the most subtle excuses we can give when God calls us is to say that “this is not God's way”. The Bible has many examples where people resisted God's calling because they had preconceived ideas about God. Naaman, a mighty General in the Syrian Army, almost missed God's blessing because of his preconceived ideas about God. In this example, Naaman desired to be cured of leprosy and Elisha, a man of God, gave Naaman instruction via way of a messenger on how to be cured of leprosy.

Judges 6:15. There are many good excuses for not acknowledging God and the calling that is on our lives. Many of us when we are called by God, we give the good excuse that “I am not capable of fulfilling my calling”. The trouble with good excuses like this is that they do not work with God. God has a calling, a purpose, for our lives and with that he has made provision for us to fulfill our calling.

Acts 24:25. Many of us have good excuses for not fulfilling God's purpose in our lives. For us that our ambitious or prosperous the best excuse is that doing God's purpose in our lives is not convenient. This is what happened when Felix, the Roman Governor, met with the Apostle Paul and received God's Word. Felix listened to Paul's words concerning righteousness, temperance, and the judgment to come, but Felix did not act on God's Word.

Luke 14:18. Many of us know that we should go to church on a regular basis, but we always come up with good excuses on not going to church. Instead of giving good excuses, we need to look inside ourselves. Are we putting other things above God and our worship of God?

Jerimiah 1:6. God is calling all of us, but most of us think we are not ready to fulfill God's purpose in our lives. Instead of answering God's call, we will give what we think is a good excuse to not fulfill our calling. This is what Jeremiah, the prophet, did when he told God that he was not ready when God called him. In Jeremiah 1:6 Jeremiah told God “... I cannot speak: for I am a child”. This was just an excuse for Jeremiah not to yield to God. We must all remember that God is a supernatural God. If He asks us to do anything, He has a way for us to succeed.

Genesis 3:12. It is part of our human nature to come up with a good excuse when we are accused of something. The problem with a good excuse is that it does not cover up our wrong-doing when we have sinned against God. Humans started giving excuses to God from the beginning in the Garden of Eden. In Genesis 3:11, God asked Adam what had happened to him because now Adam was ashamed before God (naked). God knew that Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. God had previously told them not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge.

Romans 1:20. Most people have at one time or another gotten caught up in the nature vs nurture debate. In this debate both sides take a position of why a person acts in a certain manner. Is it their environment that causes their actions or were they born that way?

Romans 1:20. Many people by their words and actions deny that there is a God. Denying God is a fruitless course of action. There is too much evidence in the world, to include the actual creation of world, to deny and ask is there a God. Many of us get caught up in the day-to-day activities of this world, and do not look seriously at how this world got started or what is our purpose in this world. We deny God because we do not want to know how or why we were created.
