✦ MADE SIMPLE
My people are getting destroyed because they don't know what they need to know. Since you've chosen to ignore the truth I've given you, I'm done with you serving me. You've forgotten everything I taught you, so I'm going to forget your kids too.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When you ignore what God's trying to teach you, there are real consequences for you and the people you're supposed to be leading.
