So sin begins to look more like addiction than anything else, as though there is a ravenous hunger deep inside of me that demands to be fed. Or as the apostle Paul famously said, “I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway…” ( The Message) And while that may be true in part, another truth is that most, if not all, of the time I really don’t want to sin, so that I do so seemingly against my own will.

The song is called “Remind Me Who I Am” and has an origin story that might interest Rabbit Roomers.įor the last few years my journey has circled around the idea of identity, where we find it, and why it matters.
