A man chose a small Christian university over a larger school because he knew his own weaknesses. He signed an ethos statement, committed to three chapel services weekly, and sought the accountability of a tight community to keep him oriented toward Christ and away from the moral struggles he feared.

But then went off to college and again like I mentioned I was, I was struggling personally with secret hidden sins. And so when I was heading to college I applied to a Christian school where I knew I would have to sign an ethos statement saying I commit to living in this way and I knew it was a smaller school where I would be recognized and held accountable and be surrounded by Christian influence have to go to chapel three times a week and again not that those activities were the saving measures but it was to encourage me in my walk with the Lord and those activities were helpful in continuing to point me back to Christ in the everyday life during the week. And so I really feel like the Lord honored if I may say that that decision to say God I need help. I know myself and if I go off to a large public school I'm going to go off the deep end. I don't have the strength and self discipline to not make a mess of my life.
