Self-Control (Part 1)
Tim Keller | April 8, 1990
Overview
We all have a problem with self-control, right? You can probably think of some emotion or some habit you have trouble controlling. And if you can’t think of anything that’s out of control, your pride is out of control.
The fruit of the Spirit is a singular word, which means it’s like a diamond with many facets. That’s very important. Because you can manufacture a kind of self-control that is nothing more than willpower, that has nothing to do with love or joy or peace. And that’s not self-control.
Let’s look at 1) what self-control is, 2) what self-control is not, and 3) how to get self-control.
