One of their memory verses is Proverbs 25:28:
"Whoever has no rule over his own spirit
Is like a city broken down, without walls."
Is like a city broken down, without walls."
What a picture of someone lacking self-discipline. They just kinda' flow out everywhere with no real boundaries or sense of order.
And not only that, they are open to whatever influence comes their way. Every idea or thought or activity overruns them and redefines them.
I watched this evening as the tide rolled in and flattened a sand castle at the beach. Without solid walls, it was only a wave or two before the castle was lost, disappearing into the indistinct sands.
Our walls of Christ-inspired self-discipline are not restrictive and out-moded; they define us, hold us together, and serve to keep us from becoming less than we were made to be.
