P.S.
For all my analysis of Romans 12 in the previous post, I didn't touch on the verse that says, "Never be wise in your own sight." As I'm studying back over the passage, I can't help but notice that glaring omission. Point taken.
"Thanks and thanks again to him who proffers to the man whom the sorrows of life have assaulted and left naked--proffers to him the fig leaf of the word with which he can cover his wretchedness." Soren Kierkegaard, Fear and Trembling

Many Stories, One Hope
This blog is one element of my attempt to 1) take every thought captive to obey Christ and 2) to rejoice in the sufferings that are producing endurance, character, and hope in me.
May the Lord be glorified in these, the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart.

At the time I set it down to some idiosyncratic personal distaste and merely wondered at the acuteness of the symptoms, but I have since had reason to believe the cause to lie much deeper in the nature of man and to turn on some nobler hinge than the principle of hatred.Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde
Who am I? What is my 'self'? The answer is that I am a Jekyll and Hyde, a mixed-up kid, having both dignity, because I was created and have been re-created in the image of God, and depravity, because I still have a fallen and rebellious nature. I am both noble and ignoble, beautiful and ugly, good and bad, upright and twisted, image and child of God, and yet sometimes yielding obsequious homage to the devil from whose clutches Christ has rescued me. My true self is what I am by creation, which Christ came to redeem, and by calling. My false self is what I am by the fall, which Christ came to destroy.John Stott
