A really common phrase you’ll hear in Christian circles begins, “I’m really struggling with….” and then insert whatever sin here. But sometimes it is hard to tell if this is a euphemism or not. When you say, “I’m struggling with X”, does that mean you’re actively engaging in the mortification of that sin, or is it a way to say you’re totally giving in to this sin, but you really wish you weren’t? How we talk about our sin will certainly impact how we can fight that sin. So, “the struggle” we are talking about: is it real?
