It is imperative that we create a personal standard, ethos, or code of conduct for ourselves. This will guide our decisions, and help us resist life's temptations that would otherwise pull us away from our ideal path.

That said, we must have grace with others. It is unfair of us to impose our standards on the lives of others, because we can't possibly understand their circumstances. This week's podcast is about finding that line.
