The Christians Privacy Tabs: Hidden Sins that will keep us from God
apologetics.substack.com
This article has spawned from a memory session I had with a friend recently, and the topic was sinning that we use to deal with when we were younger. Either before Christianity or after, it usually didn't matter because at the ages between 15-21 you're struggling with the same stuff. We were accountability partners, for better or for worse, on the topic of lust. I mentioned how I felt like covering up a sin was more comfortable in the moment, but long term leads to more guilt, more shame, and weakened repentance. The example I gave was how I would have my lust on my privacy tab and my regular stuff on my public tab. It got to the point where there was lust on the privacy tab and a theological article on my public tab. That's called trying to serve two masters, that's called living in sin, that's called struggling, that's called not growing. Now, looking back, it's overtly obvious how immature I was in the struggle, in my faith and in my general journey of life, even if I didn't think so.
