Oh yes, there's always a way around. I'm a HUGE fan of accountability software... but even that, there's loopholes. I sold accounts for one of these companies for. First it was iPhones and their web accessibility. Now the software will include accountability for iphones, pda's, etc... But now there's Facebook. One can view videos on a facebook page without ever uploading or downloading. Streams from the page. They are now working on that.

These are all great tools, but not the solution. Morality isn't the goal, living in perfect harmony with Jesus, learning to live life without the burdens and weights is... LIFE!

Ultimately, Galatians 5 is the answer to this and every other moral dysfunction...."But the Fruit of the Spirit is.........Self-Control."

Ironically, many forget self-control has anything to do with Grace or the Spirit, and aim for self-control through self (sounds like the meaning of the word). But the irony is that self-control is the outflow of a life lived in the Spirit... a life smothered in grace, growing in grace, etc...

AMEN!!! "Self-control" that is through "Self" leads, very often, to misery. But when empowered through the Holy Spirit, leads to victory!

Amen...

Moralists try to push moralism, and a repentance of "I won't do that again" self-will, self-saving efforts. There's is a world that is not grace-empowered.
