Accountability is not your first line of defense

The removal of temptation is nothing compared to the presence of our purpose.

Our laziness is not evidence by the pace of our life but our failure to engage in what truly matters.

If Satan can’t destroy your faith he’ll seek to distract your faith.

Your wandering is rooted in a lie that your life has no meaning.

Meaningful work is physically exhausting, but spiritually fulfilling.
