Romans 7:21-25
I have discovered
this principle of life —
that when I want to do
what is right,
I inevitably do what is wrong.
I love God’s law
with all my heart.
But there is another power
within me
that is at war with my mind.
This power makes me a slave
to the sin
that is still within me.
Oh, what a miserable person I am!
Who will free me
from this life that is dominated
by sin and death?
Thank God!
The answer is in Jesus Christ
our Lord.

And I’ll try to delay
what you make of my life
But I don’t want your way,
I want mine
I’m dyin’ and I’m tryin’,
but believe me, I’m fine
But I’m lyin’,
I’m so very far from fine
The Gospel According to Twenty One Pilots
EXCERPT FROM SERMON
All U.S. Currency features the motto,
“In God We Trust.”
Why was that motto chosen
to represent the United States?
Who put it there? And when?
of the Civil War, James Pollock,
Director of the United States Mint,
was given this charge:
“The trust of our people in God
should be declared
You will prepare a motto
Pollock presented the following:
“The motto suggested,
is taken from our national hymn,
The Star-Spangled Banner.
This sentiment is familiar
to all of our citizens;
it has already thrilled the hearts
and fallen from the lips
of millions of Americans in song.
The time for the introduction
of this motto is favorable
and appropriate.
For we are in an hour
of national peril and danger,
an hour when man’s strength
is actually weakness.
It is time for us
to reverently acknowledge
God’s sovereignty,
so let our coinage declare
our trust in Him alone.”
“…an hour when man’s strength
is weakness…”
The strength of the United States
was making money.
And that money was being made
on the backs of slaves.
Our greatest “strength”
(profiting off of forced labor
and human misery)
was really our greatest weakness.
And once we admitted that,
we were able to acknowledge
that we desperately needed
