THE STANDARD OF GOD

Indiscipline is a life where a person lacks the will-power to do what he knows to be the correct thing. One of the greatest enemies of progress and advancement is indiscipline. A break down in discipline is the collapse of destiny. Proverbs 25:28 says that "He that hath no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls."
