"Our problem is not just in what we do but in what we are. Apart from new birth, I am my problem. You are not my main problem. My parents are not my main problem. My enemies are not my main problem. I am my main problem. Not my deeds, and not my circumstances, and not the people in my life, but my nature is my deepest personal problem."
-John Piper, Finally Alive, p. 49.
