• Based on who you want to become, what habit do you need to break?

Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.   James 1:21     

HOW DO YOU BREAK A BAD HABIT?

Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
