Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Therefore when a man feels this battle of the flesh, let him not be discouraged therewith, but let him resist in the Spirit, and say: I am a sinner, and I feel sin in me, for I have not yet put off the flesh, in which sin dwells so long as it lives; but I will obey the spirit and not the flesh: that is, I will by faith and hope lay hold upon Christ, and by his word I will raise up myself, and being so raised up, I will no fulfill the lust of the flesh.
Martin Luther, Commentary on Galations 5:17
We see then how greatly Christian doctrine helps the raising up and comforting of the weak consciences; which treat not of cowels, shavings, rosaries, and such-like toys, but of high and weighty matters, as how we may overcome the flesh, sin, death, and the devil.
Martin Luther, Commentary on Galations 5:17
