The power of temptation is not in its appeal to our baser instincts; if that were the case, it would be natural to be repulsed by it. The power of temptation is in its appeal to our idealism. Helmut Thielicke, Our Heavenly Father (Harper and Brothers, 1960) |

NFL running back Shaun Alexander writes:
At the University of Alabama, I was meeting women from a lot of different backgrounds. My mother had taught me never to exploit women—that sex was meant only for marriage—and to treat women with respect. I knew the boundary lines it wasn't right to cross… I knew if I didn't keep my focus, I could fall. And it could occur anytime.
One time it ... Shaun Alexander, in his book Touchdown Alexander (Harvest House, 2007); quoted in the September 2-3 entries of Men of Integrity (September/October 2008) |
