THE THINGS WE MUST NEVER FORGET: LIFE LESSONS FROM SECOND PETER - The promises of God can break the bondage of our own fallen desires as they surface by trusting in his promises over our own reactions to life situations. Whether it be to anger when you've been wronged, desire what your neighbour has just bought, or made an insensitive comment you wish you could take back, God is there with His promises to help you establish self control when those promises are focused upon.
