Guilt

"I'm so addicted to feeling guilty

Like the edge of a cliff, it's about to kill me

All the reasons why You wouldn't want to love me"

Bethany Dillon 'Are You Sure?'

But we need to learn to balance these two identities. The tricky part as a preacher is asking how we can encourage our congregations to see themselves as.... well what should we be explaining the identity of a Christian as?
