You Can Develop Self-Control

“What does it take to develop self-control if I don’t have it?”

“Why can’t I seem to control myself?”

Have you ever asked similar questions? These are not uncommon when people become Christians, and sometimes older Christians ask the same things. We are all human and that means we all have the need to grow, so perhaps the questions should be asked more often.

In this episode, I discuss the definition of self-control to be sure we are all on the same page. Surprisingly, the word is only found three times in the Bible (once being in the Fruit of the Spirit list), but the concept is all over it, and it’s important that we fully understand it.

While we look at the definition, I am not going to leave you in the dark about how to develop it. I discuss three mindsets to develop that will guarantee a growth of self-control. In fact, if you implement these three mindsets, or improve them if you are already practicing them, your life will change in fascinating and exciting ways!

Introducing a New Group for Men

As part of my efforts to help people grow, I have started a new group for men on Facebook. The intent of the group is to help clarify what God intends to see from men, specifically.

Join our new men’s Facebook group!

This isn’t a typical group that focuses on axe-throwing and beard grooming. You don’t have to be a fisherman, a lumberjack, or even a jock to be an important part of the group. If you are those things, you’re welcome too of course. (I love a good football story myself!)

Self-control is part of the Christian life, and this group is designed to help you reach that lifestyle with the support of like-minded men from all walks of life. Many of the men there are not Christians, and we are not limiting it to Christians only. That’s because we want to be able to reach as many people as possible with the light of the Word. That means we are walking slowly and discussing daily life in very practical ways.

So if you’ve struggled with issues of self-control, depression, anxiety, lack of focus, or any other problems related to spiritual or personal growth, join us! Here is the link to that.

I am a preacher of the Gospel of Christ. I work with a church in Caddo Mills, Texas. I’d love for you to visit our website and see more ways that we might be able to help you. Here is it.
