Day 1Battle Plan Here is the thing about self-control. It’s easier to see an area of someone else’s life that is out of control than to see an area out of control in our own life. You can spot a guy who is addicted to drugs or alcohol a mile away. If you want to know if a person has...
Day 2I SURRENDER Paul says in Romans 7:24-25, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!” Real self-control is not self in control it is self under control. Under the control of God, you find the strength to...
Day 3Get Accountable Here is where it gets tough. Having a lack of self-control can be embarrassing. Who wants to admit that they have a problem with pornography? Who wants to admit that our mouth is out of control and that no one believes a word that comes out of your mouth? Who wants to...
Day 1Angry Eyes Are you a gentle person or an angry person? Do you find yourself getting upset over things that aren't worth getting upset over? There was a farmer who raised watermelons. He was doing pretty well, but he was upset because some local kids would sneak into his watermelon patch at...
Day 2 The Gentleness of Jesus When you look at the life of Jesus, He was so gentle to others when He didn't have to be. Jesus was power under control. For example, in John 4, Jesus meets a woman who is drawing water at a well. He asks her for a drink of water. Jesus was a Jewish man talking...
Day 3I told you so! A GENTLE PERSON IS FULL OF UNDERSTANDING AND IS NOT DEMANDING. Proverbs 17:9 says, “He who covers over an offense promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.” When someone disappoints you, when someone makes a mistake, how do you treat...
Day 3: Poor Pooch A 16-foot python stalked a family’s pet Terrier-Chihuahua for several days before finally attacking, fatally crushing, and devouring the dog. The family’s children watched in horror as the 110-pound snake ate their dog. That is a sad story. Can you imagine that?...
Day 1: Ooops! Two brothers were always fine with getting sent to their room as punishment because a huge, old fruit tree was just outside their window. So the boys would close their door, quietly raise the window, and climb down the tree. Then, after an hour of playing in the fields behind the...
Day 2: Meanest Mom on the Planet Jane Hambleton of Des Moines, Iowa, calls herself "the meanest mom on the planet." So when she bought her 19-year-old son a car, she gave him two rules to follow: first, no alcohol in the car, and second, always lock it. One day she was getting something out of...
Day 1: Trapped Genesis 1:27-28 says, 27, "So God created man in his image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them and said to them, "Be fruitful and increase in number." This is the only commandment we have ever done right in the entire Bible...
