- Our initial recoiling from the badness of the thing over time can easily spin into the nebulous "I'm not convinced it's really sinful" category. This is a dangerous place to get.
- We keep it secret. Some sinful habits don't seem that bad because there are no outward indicators that we are caught in something. No one can call us on it. This is also a dangerous place to get.
- The primary reason we stay stuck is that we fail to look to Christ. We know that he died to the pay the penalty for our sin, which, unfortunately, all too often we use as an excuse to indulge just one more day.
