Another lyric based entry...

As long as I am quoting song lyrics to find truth, here is another one. The great philosopher Adam Duritz of the Counting Crows says, "for all the things I'm losing, I might as well resign myself to try and make a change". On the surface this seems like a rather depressing lyric about someone whose life is going nowhere. But my friend Matt used is to point out the truth of sin. When we live in constant sin (or any sin for that matter) we are losing so much. We are sacrificing an intimacy with God which we may or may not have ever experienced before. Because of all that we are losing, really the only course of action which makes sense is changing. Unfortunately, we rarely understand this and just seek to fill the ever-largening hole with more sin.
