Snippet
Adam was but human—this explains it all. He did not want the
apple for the apple's sake, he wanted it only because it was forbidden. The
mistake was in not forbidding the serpent; then he would have eaten the
serpent.” ― Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson
Scripture
We know that the Law is spiritual; but I am a mortal, sold
as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do; for I don't do what I
would like to do, but instead I do what I hate. 16 Since what I do is what I
don't want to do, this shows that I agree that the Law is right. 17 So I am not
really the one who does this thing; rather it is the sin that lives in me. 18 I
know that good does not live in me—that is, in my human nature. For even though
the desire to do good is in me, I am not able to do it. 19 I don't do the good
I want to do; instead, I do the evil that I do not want to do. 20 If I do what
I don't want to do, this means that I am no longer the one who does it;
instead, it is the sin that lives in me.
21 So I find that this law is at work: when I want to do
what is good, what is evil is the only choice I have. 22 My inner being
delights in the law of God. 23 But I see a different law at work in my body—a
law that fights against the law which my mind approves of. It makes me a
prisoner to the law of sin which is at work in my body. 24 What an unhappy man
I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is taking me to death? 25 Thanks
be to God, who does this through our Lord Jesus Christ!
This, then, is my condition: on my own I can serve God's law
only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin. Romans 7:14-25 GNT

When the days are cold
And the cards all fold
And the saints we see
Are all made of gold
When your dreams all fail
And the ones we hail
Are the worst of all
And the blood’s run stale
I want to hide the truth
I want to shelter you
But with the beast inside
There’s nowhere we can hide
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
When the curtain’s call
Is the last of all
When the lights fade out
All the sinners crawl
So they dug your grave
And the masquerade
Will come calling out
At the mess you made
Don’t want to let you down
But I am hell bound
Though this is all for you
Don’t want to hide the truth
No matter what we breed
We still are made of greed
This is my kingdom come
This is my kingdom come
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
They say it's what you make
I say it's up to fate
It's woven in my soul
I need to let you go
Your eyes, they shine so bright
I want to save their light
I can't escape this now
Unless you show me how
When you feel my heat
Look into my eyes
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Don’t get too close
It’s dark inside
It’s where my demons hide
It’s where my demons hide
Sentence Prayer
