Well, I am not against using tools like this, but what I think we need to be after is the real strength of the Spirit to overcome the flesh. Maybe that’s not possible in this world.

I am a happy user of Covenant Eyes internet software, and I can tell you, without doubt, the accountability works for me – but not in the way the author perhaps means it. I don’t have a friend constantly asking me day by day what I have done, but I do know that if I am tempted, my activity will be reported and I will be held to account.

Of course, the sad truth is that we should so fear the Lord that we need no human accountability at all. But we don’t. Oh, wretched man that I am!
