Self Control 1-22-09

Many people had trouble doing this: self control. Some people just can't control themselves, some cannot hold their emotion, and some just don't control themselves. Now what should we do if we can't control ourselves? ---->God is the way!

I Corinthians 7:5
5 Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that. Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

From this verse we can see that God has told us to refrain from any sexual actions because sometimes before you get marry, it is so hard to just have sexual activities but the Word is telling us to stop ourselves and just devote into praying and praying. Then the time when you people get marry, then it is okay to have sexual activities. The reason for this because so that Satan will not tempt you to do something wrong like sexual activities before marrying. This might sound weird but it is really true.

Titus 1:8-9
but hospitable,loving what is good, sensible, just, devout, self-controlled,
9holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in (D)sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict.

you must love your enemies, your friends, and STRANGERS. To love with seriousness, just, self controlled, and to get into of holding the Word of God.

(I hopefully had translated the verse right...It was really hard so I'm sorry if you found something wrong)
