NLH Church Message 06-11-23: Self-Control: The Journey Begins by Lavern Solomon - a podcast by NLH

Self-control helps us to resist temptation and avoid conforming to the things of this world. It guides our decisions, and it correlates with how we show the other fruits in our lives.

For example, forbearance, or patience, requires self-control. Self-control can be applied to all of the fruits of the Spirit in the same way it is applied to forbearance.Displaying self-control is often a matter of responding rather than reacting. When we react to a situation, we let our emotions take control. We are more likely to become defensive and say hurtful things. Responding, however, involves developing a thoughtful response that is guided by reason more than emotions.

As Christians, our responses to situations are to be guided by the fruits of the Spirit.
