    The Walls of Self-Control – a word from Pastor Tony D'Amico from The Rock Church in Draper, UT. "the metaphor reminds us that a city without walls has no defense. It is vulnerable and open to attack. That is us without self-control."

    “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.” — Proverbs 25:28
