The verse of the week: “Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.”
Titus 2:2 ESV
The emphasis was on being self-controlled. Self-control or self-controlled is used 13 times in the Bible, once in the Old Testament and twelve in the New Testament. Seems to be a pretty important virtue for the believer not to mention it’s one of the fruits of the Spirit “Galatians 5:23”. All you have to do is look around and you’ll notice that most people are striving for self-entitlement and self-gratification. Being Self-controlled is a choice, it’s not something that just happens. It’s making small choices in a positive direction day after day until it becomes habit. Rinse and Repeat!
COT:
Prayer request: Sparky’s nephew, SA’s daughter and family, our community and those on the front line.
Thanks once again for the opportunity to lead!
Wichita out and on to the next one
