Some people may be able to fool themselves into thinking they have achieved some rendition of true self control. They may be able to conjure up the willpower and the words to “Just Say No!” to various things that are not beneficial to them. Here’s the thing though…..it’s not about managing our “flesh” under our own watchful eye. Instead, it’s really about bringing our sinful desires under the control of Christ by the power of His Holy Spirit. Ultimately, self control is really about being controlled by Christ in all we think, say, and act. We encourage you to listen to this sermon entitled “Saying No To Self.”
