““in our younger days we actually thought that discipleship would get easier as we grew older and more mature; but the reality is that it actually gets more difficult, because Satan has an arsenal, the like of which we only glimpse in his ability to bring us down. ‘Lay your hands,’ Jesus is saying, ‘on this sin's throat and don't release the pressure until it stops breathing.’ That's The How. Put it to death. Sever that right arm if necessary; pluck out that right eye if necessary; sever that foot if necessary; because the most important thing of all, the most important thing of all is walking in the pathway of godliness and holiness.””
