Floundered over the high ideals of Sermon on the Mount. No matter how hard I tried, I could not find an easy way around or through it. Like a low-grade case of depression, my cognitive dissonance over Jesus' words kept me in a state of spiritual restlessness. If the Sermon on the Mount sets forth God's standard of holiness, I concluded, then I may as well resign from the start. The Sermon did not help me improve, it simply revealed all the ways I had not.
