Back in the days of Solomon, when the Holy Spirit inspired him to write Proverbs, it was vital for cities to have a high stone wall surrounding them for protection. 
That stone wall was their vital defense against their enemies. A prime example of this is shown with the walls of Jericho, which protected that enemy city, until Joshua and his army did exactly as God commanded for the walls to come crashing down (Joshua 6)! After the walls fell, the city was taken!
To Lack Self Control Is To Be Like A City With Broken Down Walls
Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control. (Prov 25:28)
If a person lacking self-control could become a city, that city would have a broken down wall! Therefore, it would have no real defense against its enemies. Such a person would be easy to defeat and destroy! That would make his mortal enemies happy, for he would surely be conquered sooner or later. That means being self-controlled is spiritually vital. Carefully ponder the following substantiating truths:
Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper than one who takes a city. (Prov 16:32)
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. (Gal 5:22,23)
For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (2 Pet 1:5-11)
Self control is part of the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22,23) and what we are to add to our saving faith in Jesus to make our calling and election sure (2 Pet. 1:5-11)! If you have been like a city with broken down walls (because you lack self control), now is the time to do some very important wall repairs while you still can! God will help you with this, but you must seriously strive to be self controlled! You are battling for eternity. Get serious and fight hard.
Some try to wickedly defend getting high on alcohol or marijuana. In fact, I recently encountered one who was like that! His feeble argument for getting high on marijuana was, “Didn’t God create all the herbs of the field and say his creation was good?” Had he been rational and known about the English Yew, he should have quickly noticed not all of God’s creation is healthy for us to ingest, smoke, etc. Knowing about the English Yew is important for soul winners and all Christians.
But his delight is in the law of the LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night. He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers. (Psa 1:1-3)
Since there are only two types of spiritual trees — both being fruit trees — if you aren’t bringing forth good fruit, as God sees fruit, then your end will not be a good one!
I have never felt more terrible in my life, that I’ve been used and he never loved me. I feel terrible for leaving the Lord for a guy like him. I was a born again Christian who has backslided and I had sexual relations with this guy. Do you think I have one more chance at salvation? Could God forgive me for what I’ve done and accept me again…? Do I have another chance?
But what is the means or channel through which one can tap into the power of God to get radically changed into a new creation and become 
Donnie then went on to say, that is not true. That Peter never lost his salvation and he can prove that. He then sited Luke 22:32 where the Lord told Peter that He prayed that Peter “not lose his faith” Donnie contends that Peter never lost his “faith” in Jesus, therefore he couldn’t have lost his salvation. He went on to say people don’t understand Justification by Faith, that as long as Peter or anyone for that matter, doesn’t stop believing in God/Jesus and what Christ did on Calvary won’t or wouldn’t have lost their salvation. There is something about this that just doesn’t set with me. I understand that Christians can and do sin from time to time that doesn’t cost them their salvation. (As long as they aren’t sins unto death). But to deny the Lord as Peter did, I personally think he very well could have lost his salvation should had he not repented and died. Am I missing something here? Blessings
On Candid Camera, secret camera shots of people were taken and those same people who were filmed heard, You’re on Candid Camera.
In that Chick tract, the question is asked:
In other words, you are guaranteed heaven after death, because of your moment of faith, with NO repentance and the theory of 
Because they misinform the readers about salvation. His easy believism and once saved always saved messages are soul poison. That is enough to never use them again, but there is even more reason why Chick booklets should be rejected!
You would also view all of the modern reputable translations as tools of the devil, since Chick thinks only the KJV is the word of God! If you get deceived by Jack T. Chick in that way, you will confront various KJV translational errors and the dozens of KJV words which changed their meanings since the 17th century! That alone will give one a distorted view of God’s truth. A few examples are:
God gave Nebuchadnezzar the mind of an animal, a partial appearance of a bird and he lived with the wild donkeys for 7 years!
