It is encouraging to see other "boylovers" overcome, to hear how they've been able to have self-control and accomplish good in a young man's life. And knowing this, I also know that I have a purpose here to encourage others to overcome (through my sharing how I've been able to maintain self-control and accomplish good in the lives of boys that I know). In this way, we are accountable to each other. It's what keeps us strong: accountability. Ezekiel 33:8-9, 19 8 When I say unto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 19 But if the wicked turn from his wickedness, and do that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby. |
