deep do-do

I heard this passage on a podcast last night and I could totally relate because have you ever tried to get your point across the way Paul did in these verses from Romans? Deep stuff...

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it."

LOL! That is a title of a sermon if I have ever heard of one! "Deep Do-Do" I love it.
