If these lyrics don’t accurately reflect my life, I don’t know what does:
Oh, I’m into everything I hate
My spirit is not fooled
My members take the bait
Oh, I’m into everything I hate
Still not dead enough
To stifle this debate
Smalltown Poets, “Everything I Hate”
Or, as someone else put it: Who will deliver me from the body of this death?

As usual, John Piper’s words are used by God as a 2×4, applied directly to my forehead:
I suspect that the reason the Ten Commandments begin with the commandment “You shall have no other gods before me” (Exodus 20:3) and ends with the commandment “You shall not covet” (Exodus 20:17) is that they are essentially the same commandment. They bracket the other eight and reveal their source.
