Wisdom for Living: The Wisdom of Self-Control (Randy)

How many times have we tried to stop a bad habit, or promised to treat our family or friends better, or promised God that we would change?  We are subject to our passions and they cause us to live out-of-controlled lives. We over indulge in unhealthy things that destroy our bodies or our relationships.  We lack self-control.  But God gives us the wisdom to grow in self-control. We just need to run to him and know that his grace is sufficient.  In this lesson, we will learn how dangerous it is to lack self-control, and how we can go about getting it.
