It’s the little stuff that matters.
We think it is the big things in life that create character. Not true! It is the little things. The big things reveal character. What matters is what you do that no one sees. The glance at an attractive person, quick fantasy, white lie – they all matter.
Here are some “little things” you might try today:
- Read a verse.
- Pray a prayer.
- Make a call.
- Attend a meeting.
“Whoever is faithful in small matters will be faithful in large ones; whoever is dishonest in small matters will be dishonest in large ones” (Luke 16:10).
Recovery Step: You will never climb a mountain. What you can do is take a step forward. Then tomorrow, you can do it again. Never forget, it’s the small stuff that matters.

Mark and Beth Denison, married for 36 years, launched There’s Still Hope as a national movement to call men and women into lives of sexual integrity. Their ministry offers 90-day recovery plans for addicts and one-on-one and group coaching for addicts and their spouses. TSH also produces resources for pastors and churches to confront the porn epidemic that is destroying so many lives.
Dr. Denison was a senior pastor for over 30 years, NBA chaplain, and board chairman at Houston Baptist University three times. With a Master’s Degree in Addiction Recovery, Mark is a certified PSAP and active member of the American Association of Christian Counselors.
Mark has written four books on recovery: Porn in the Pew, 365 Days to Sexual Integrity, A 90-Day Recovery Guide, and 40 Days to Porn-Free Living. His latest book, Jesus on the 12 Steps, will be released later this year.
