On Self-Control...

• Self-control is the exercise of inner strength under the direction of sound judgment that enables us to do, think and say the things that are pleasing to God. –Jerry Bridges • For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, Godliness; and to Godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. -2 Peter 1:5-7
