verses without sermon

[substitute]

We take as our texts today verses from the book of Romans and from Job (King James Version).

For the good that I would do I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. (Romans 7:19)

I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked? (Job 10:2,3)

"For the good that I would do I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. (Romans 7:19)"

That must be a misprint. Shouldn't it be Romans 4:20? ;)

"Efficiency is not an end, but a means to achieve valued ends. It is not a goal, but an instrument to achieve other goals. It is not a value, but a way to achieve other values. It is part of the story but never the whole. When it is used as an end in itself, as a value in its own right, and as the overriding goal of public life, it becomes a cult." (Janice Gross Stein 1:6)
