Thinking myself out of sin -- and losing

So, since I started this blog last week, I've been trying to THINK my way towards God. "I can put myself in better positions to do things I know I should do, and not put myself in positions to sin, and that will work out."

How dumb.

A couple weeks ago, I read this post by Jon Acuff over at Stuff Christians Like, and at the time I read it, I thought: "Man, he is dead on. Why do we try to logic our way out of sin?" Fast forward, and here I am doing the same thing.

Another thing that strikes me as... I was going to say funny, but it's clearly not funny, so I'll say sad... is the fact that in the 4 days since I've been severely convicted and had all of this really weighing on me, I've only picked up my Bible once. Here I am knowing that I am struggling through a few days, and I can't even bring myself to turn to Scripture.

I feel like one of the people Screwtape talks about: think about things a lot, but don't ever do anything.
