Fight the Big Ones!

The language is early 19th Century, but I've been giving this quote from Chapman some thought. I think there is some merit to his thinking.

"Give yourself to attacking the filthiness of the spirit more than the filthiness of the flesh - pride, selfishness, self-seeking, etc. - these are the ringleaders; aim at them. While you are occupied in gaining the victory over little sins, great sins will be occupied in gaining the victory over you. When great sins are overcome, little sins fall with them."
