'I keep temptations and sins covered over because of my pride. I don't want to be thought of as someone who is weak in some particular point, and I'm fearful of what someone might think of me if I confess that I fear I don't have the resources to combat something that's stalking me.
But that kind of isolating pride is countergospel. We've been crucified with Christ. We are already humiliated. In Jesus, our corpses were hanging in the sun, publicly marking us out as sinners worthy of death. If we are repentant, we are always clinging to the fact that we agree with God's just judgment against us. What then is there left to hide?'
Russell D Moore, Tempted and Tried, p.174.
