Hasty and Superficial

It is because of the hasty and superficial conversation with God that the sense of sin is so weak and that no motives have power to help you to hate and flee from sin as you should.

-- A.W. Tozer

We still don't like to talk about our sin, especially our own. Statements spoken, or just thought, like "Can't we just move on?" or "What can we really do much about anyway?" produce the hastiness referenced above. This particular week, passion week, I want to acknowledge more of what all the passion was for...serious problems with me. I am the problem; my sin is the problem. I have created and contributed to the mess of things.

Only resurrection power can solve for the problem of me.  But, my oh my, what power it is!
