The person who may dwell with God walks in integrity.

Proverb

Discipline and uncontrolled anger both carry consequences.

Discover

This is one of July’s clearest views of Jesus: we were helpless, but Christ died for us. The greater Son of David brings a Kingdom and life that death cannot defeat.
