I have counseled people who felt sohounded by unwanted thoughts or desires that they toldme they would walk around the whole earth, if theycould, to be freed of them. They would give anything tofind peace of mind and a pure heart.Such determination is good, but it is important to recognizeat the same time that we cannot liberate ourselvesin our own strength. The struggle between goodand evil is not only something “in the mind,” but a battleof cosmic proportions between sin, which Paul calls“another law at work in the members of our flesh,” andthe Spirit. To win this fight demands faith in Jesus, whopromises us victory “wherever two or three gather inmy name.”Many Christians do not believe in the reality of thisfight, let alone in the reality of evil. This book will be ofno use to them. Rather, it is intended for those who haveknown sin, who earnestly seek to be freed of its weight,and who long for purity of heart.3
F R E E D O M F R O M S I N F U L T H O U G H T S - S T R U G G L EAs a subject for a book, “sinful thoughts” is not afashionable one; yet I have come to see, over manyyears, that it is something thousands of people battlewith. If this little book can help guide even one of themtoward the freedom of the cross, it will have served itspurpose.4
