“Godliness is the result of effort—focused effort that turns us away from useless distractions (1 Timothy 4:7a), and consistent effort that follows an ongoing regimen of spiritual exercises. Don’t lose steam after a few early morning ‘workouts.’” - Chris Anderson
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” (Proverbs 27:17)
