The Second Scrutiny

"But we see, you say, so your sin remains."

Is this as much an indictment of rationalism as it ever was of Pharisaism?
Are not both of these attitudes as prevalent today as they have ever been?

As pertinent as these questions may be, last night I found myself grappling instead with one that is of more value for me. After thirty minutes of (I believe) Spirit-led soul-searching, a technical glitch prevented me from posting what I'd written, the words vanished from my screen. So maybe I'm just supposed to post the question here, for reflection:

In what ways do I insist that I see, and so my sin remains?

Holy Spirit, you alone can reveal this. Show me, and heal me of my blindness.
