Two times in Romans, once in Luke and once in Hebrews. In Romans 9:10, it says this: And not only this; ...read more

    We want to be a disciplined people, and we want to be wary of the destructive evils that we find so easy to embrace. Discipline is like a ladder that slowly leads us upward; foolishness is a chute that can make us drop quickly.
