Struggle

June 14, 2008 at 5:25 am (I[heart]Jesus)

John Piper’s son, Abraham Piper, wrote this wonderful (and beautifully laconic) piece on his blog.

“Struggle: Christianese for ‘Giving in to sin, but then feeling guilty’

We’re not porn-addicts; we “struggle with lust.”

We’re not arrogant; we “struggle with pride.”

With a simple cliché our sins become palatable. “
