I Have Met the Enemy And He Is Me

George Whitefield said:

I cannot pray but I sin. I cannot preach to you or any others but I sin. I can do nothing without sin; and, as one expresses it, my repentance wants to be repented of, and my tears to be washed in the precious blood of my dear Redeemer. Our best duties are as so many splendid sins.
HT Darryl Dash

Uh, if George Whitfield was a sinner, and that sin tainted everything he did, is it just possible that I am too, and that my efforts with God are limited not by His power or willingness to see them succeed, but by my sinfulness?

Eh?
