No human being...is ever conceived outside God's will or ever conceived apart from God's image. Life is a gift from God created in His own image.
John F. MacArthurWhy is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire. Saying no to our impulses (even the ones that are not inherently sinful) puts us in control of our appetites rather than vice versa. It deposes our lust and permits truth, virtue, and integrity to rule our minds instead.
