Killing Sin: Conquer the One Thing That Is Defeating You
Kill what’s killing you.
Every fiber of you aches to distance yourself from something holding you back—that one thing that is killing you. Pastor Karl Clauson understands.
How can we take hold of God’s promises and walk in freedom—not just for a day or a week but a sustained, lasting victory? In Killing Sin, Karl is honest about his own personal battles and draws from his decades of experience helping people conquer sin to show us the pathway to freedom.
Sin separates us from God, what Jesus saves us from, and what the Holy Spirit gives us power to overcome. Karl presents behavioral habits that hold you back, an understanding of how change happens, and strategies for winning wars grounded in Scripture. No longer do you need to hide or suffer alone. Killing Sin shows you how to successfully fight temptation and overcome the sin in your life.

“The root of all of our sins is that something or someone is taking the place of God.”
KILLING SIN is a short text, meant to be a biblical companion for the Christian who has something in their life that they want to get some power over. What person who is striving to live a holy life would not be interested in that subject matter?
Author Karl Clauson gains major points with me for brining everything back to the word of God, and his adamant disregard for “self-help” which he views as the antithesis of successful biblical living. It is in His help, no one else’s. As he writes, “It’s God’s work, or it won’t work.”
Some highlights for me included some excellent thoughts on “pride” and “humility” and their roles in our lives. Some good insight in those sections.
I also especially appreciated Mr. Clauson’s discussion of the role of hatred in defeating sin. His blunt assessment of the need to hate the things that are dragging us down is refreshingly candid.
KILLING SIN: CONQUER THE ONE THING THAT IS DEFEATING YOU offers readers a compelling guide to overcoming persistent spiritual struggles. Drawing from his personal experiences and extensive pastoral work, Clauson presents a biblically grounded approach to achieving lasting freedom from sin. The book delves into behavioral habits that hinder spiritual growth, provides insights into the transformation process, and offers practical strategies rooted in Scripture.
I found it to be a worthwhile read.

Simple but profound read. Applicable and Biblical.

Helpful book: Favorite chapter 9. “Confess It.” Good Explanation of Psalm 32.
Favorite quote:
We all start out strong, but how we end is the measure that matters most. You started strong. We all do…But life goes on. Temptation gives us no rest. The world confines us to broken in systems. And our old appetites can creep back in.

This short book gives several excellent points from God’s Word on how we can identify, confess, and kill the sin that doesn’t seem to let us go. It is hard to absorb and retain it in one reading, so it is one I will probably reach for again and study more deeply.

Straight forward and helpful if you desire to mortify your flesh.
