“It may sound antiquated to talk about the pursuit of virtue in today’s world, but this is only because we don’t fully understand what virtue truly represents. At its root, virtue means “strength.” It’s related to a word that more directly addresses this meaning: virile. Virtue is strength — power to do what is right; power to make the right choice; power to overcome the weakness of sin, bad choices, victimhood, and self-pity.”

-Gary Thomas
