    This message helps us get a Biblical understadning of the nature of God's discipline. We may not like it but we need it. He always disciplines out of love for us.

    “The Day God Cleaned House” John 2:12-22 Parents will often say to their children when they are about to discipline them these famous words, “this is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you.” I never believed that for a moment until it came time for me to ...read more
