Fruit of the Spirit is Self Control

We are helpless to control ourselves by ourselves. The first step to a self-controlled life is to remember that self has nothing to do with it. Self-control is the result of using the power we have through the Holy Spirit to choose our own behavior. We choose how we will act in any given situation; when facing temptation or tribulation, we must resolve not to sin. Self-control is developed through trials (Psalm 66: 10-12), and is necessary for spiritual growth (2 Peter 1:6). With clear and practical application, Lynn Stanley addresses control of our emotions, anger, fears, and our thought life. Other areas include control of our time, our treasures, and our tongues. This is the third book in the Fruit of the Spirit Series. Book jacket.Read less
