Encouraging Christians, as long as its called today
Self-control is often seen as something that gets in the way of enjoying life, but can we keep saying, “it’s too hard” or I don’t know how to do it”.The truth is, we have been given everything we need to participate, and God’s provisions to help us, to no longer live like cities broken into and left without walls.
The book of Proverbs tells us, that when we are without self-control, we are like a city broken into and left without walls. Thankfully, God has provided instructions for us in the book of Romans that help us to build the walls of self-control.
Each time we choose not to practice self control, our desire to avoid sin and addictive behaviors can weaken. We then become comfortable with things that will always cause us to stumble on our journey of following Christ.
