Discoverable Sins; Coverable Sins

As you grow older in Christ, I realised temptation to sin get even stronger.
This is so as the acts can be easliy hidden and concealed which is unlike what we struggled with when we first came to church.
Lying, cursing and swearing, smoking, getting drunk, gossiping, rebelling against the leadership are outward behaviour that can be recognized immediately and corrected accordingly- these are "discoverable" sins.
Gradually we change because (1) God's conviction and, (2) Encouragement from others.
However, if the areas of sin lie subtle and nobody can tell (except God, of cos!) unless you confessed, it makes rebellion "easier".
These days I am tested more in my thought life than anything else.
If I compromise, can you tell?- the coverable sins.
When (2) is absent since no one knows your challenges, more time needs to be spent in His presence to be tangible to (1).
Whether discoverable or coverable, I yearn to be more than a conquerer.
