The Battle Isn’t Yours to Fight Alone Temptation isn’t a “maybe.” It’s an “any minute now.” It whispers lies about satisfaction and escape, but usually just leads you away from what’s actually good for his best for us. Most of us try to white-knuckle our way through it. That’s a losing game. Resisting isn’t about … Read more
