Self-Control

        The 2nd part of the entry "#ToBusy". The part of the sermon where I had to look up on the church's website because I was late for church this past Saturday.


Self-Control 

-Love------->Self-Control


-Self-Control--------->Love


-Counterfeit:  Fake self-control


-Psalm 37:4
         -"Take delight in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart."

-Definition of Self-Control:
            -Yielding and trusting my life to God's Control. Receiving His Love and the living it out as a living expression of His Love. 


-"It is impossible for a an to learn what he thinks he already knows."-Epictetus 


-Eph. 4:20-23 (NASB)
         
          -"That, however, is not the way of life you learned 21 when you heard about Christ and were taught in him in accordance with the truth that is in Jesus. 22 You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds."



-John 6:28 (NIV)
         
          -" Then they asked him, “What must we do to do the works God requires?”



-Matthew 6:31-33
         
          -" So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."


-Isaiah 40:28-31
       
           -"28 Do you not know?
    Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
    and his understanding no one can fathom.
29 He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint."


-Proverbs 23:7a

           -" For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he."


-Do A Heart Check Every Once in Awhile 

         -H: Hurting
         -E: Exhausted 
         -A: Angry 
         -R: Resentful 
         -T: Tense 



-"The conversion of a soul is the miracle of a moment, the manufacture of a saint is the task of a lifetime."-Alan Redpath
