Galatians 5 - 21.03.10
Fruit of the Spirit: Self-control
Our journey through one of the most life-filled sections of Scripture concludes! When someone asks you: "What is Christianity all about?" I imagine that you (like me) take them to the Fruit of the Spirit! You say to them: "Being a follower of Jesus is all about love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness and ... self-control?" ... Really? That's where it ends?

Because to many of us, self-control just sounds so dead. When contrasted with all of these beautiful things that hum with life, self-control sounds like a let down. But maybe this is because we don't understand it properly? Maybe if we really understood self-control, and understood why we need it, it would change everything!
