THE GOOD MUST BE A HABIT RATHER THAN A CHOICE

NOTHING THAT BRINGS A MAN CLOSER TO GOD CAN BE BE BAD AND NOTHING THAT LEADS HIM FARTHER AWAY CAN BE GOOD

Romans 1:24-2:4 There's a verse in Romans that was written for the person reading Romans. Most of us miss it, because by the time we get there we're too busy thinking about somebody else.
