"we are more like adolf hitler than we are like Jesus Christ." --c.s. lewis
this week in class, dr. graff was talking about the sin in our lives and he gave the above quote that really made me think. we strive to be like Jesus, but at the end of the day we have acted more like this repulsive murderer than like Christ. we may think about our sins more and maybe even feel guilty about committing them, but we don’t sin significantly less than non-christians. something that i read for prophets today gave me even less encouragement..."can the ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots? neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil" --jeremiah 13.23. this is something that God said - not a foolish human. interesting...
