There is bad thinking out there as to what it means to be converted; in other words: what a saved Christian truly is, and supposed to do.

We're picking it back up with a few more observations about the value and necessity of self-control in the life of a Christian.

We're going through the OT and NT terms for these very important aspects of the doctrine of salvation.

We're making several observations about the value and necessity of self-control in the life of a Christian.

We're talking about Faith - the instrument through which justification is appropriated.

We continue our talk on procrastination with a look at the more serious consequences resulting from this type of lack of self-control. (Joined by a couple special guests.)

What should the Church's responsibility be regarding protests, riots, and racism?

It is hard to finish things well. Sometimes, though, we never even finish. To put it bluntly, it is the sin of procrastination. And yes, it is a sin.

We're talking justification. "[It is] the legal change from a state of guilt and condemnation to a state of forgiveness and acceptance; and this change is owing solely to a gratuitous act of God..." - A.W. Pink

Self-control is core issue for many Christians; affecting relationships, marriages, households, finances, etc. Beginning new things is very easy to do, but ending well isn't so easy.
