Self-Control

of the tounge. God's words shared through Pastor at CCBC's service today. Something that I need to apply to myself, as I'm sure many need to too.

Self-control is a part of the fruit of the spirit. Galatians 5:22-23 The Fruit of the Spirit are the characteristics God desires for you to have once you trust Him with every aspect of your life. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

I don't wanna be a fake, "Sunday-only Christian" that acts like I know God on Sundays, yet my everyday life reflects an opposition to that. That's my prayer..

Summing the message today down to 4 points (Self-control of your mouth):

1) Think before you speak
2) Always speak the truth
3) Speak the truth in love
4) Ask God for help everyday

Regarding the 1st point on thinking, ask yourselves these questions before you say something:

Is it Truthful?
Is it Helpful?
Is it Inspirational?
Is it Necessary?
Is it Kind?

Just something I thought I'd share.

Christianity, it's beautiful on how we don't center our faith on "religion", going through motions, doing this doing that, just cause I can get "points" with God. Nah dawg, it's a relationship, with our Jesus Christ, doing as much as we can to glorify Him, because he has a perfect will for every one of us.
