A man whose sword  is protecting himself and those he loves is honest and accountable.  He still lives in an environment of temptation, as we all do.  But if he opens an e-mail and sees something inappropriate, he tells somebody immediately.  He cooperates with his wife in telling her the things she wants to know, and he has a trusted man or men to confess any inappropriate thoughts to as well.

When you’re at war, you utilize the weapons of honesty and accountability.  A man who has a commitment and a plan for this is much more likely to be successful.  If he drops his weapons at a lust level, and then gets honest and accountable, then he is really less likely to drop it on the sin level.  He would have to choose to lie to get that far down the road.
