The concept of personal responsibility seems to have been swept under the rug. The Bible is a book which gives emphasis to individual responsibility. In the New Testament we find that man's individual responsibility is still the norm. Salvation, likewise, is an individual matter. When the day of reckoning came each man was called to give an account of how he had used his talents.
Life is an individual matter and the Christian life is a matter of individual choice.
We must make our own choices and face the consequences. It is not past time for parents to return to the practice of teaching individual responsibility to our children. We must insist that they pay the price for their deeds. They need to learn early in life that the freedom to choose carries with it the responsibly to accept the consequences - good or bad. Few of us grow up in totally ideal circumstances.
