- 1 John 1:9 tells us what to do when we’ve made a bad choice.
- “Pray for a crop failure!” is a statement I heard John Ettore say when preaching, but I don’t know for sure if it is original with him or if he was quoting someone else.
- The analogy of planting one kernel of corn/making that first choice to change and how it gets easier is one I remember my dad preaching years ago.
