Have you ever noticed that self-control is a difficult thing? The more we think about not doing something, the more we want to do it! Biblical self-control is actually power that comes from the Holy Spirit so that our passions and desires are aligned with Christ.

Pastor Gary continues his series from the fruit of the Spirit.
In Paul’s letter to the Ephesians he challenged them to live according to what they had received. He told them to “put off the old self” and to “put on the new self.” One of the marks of the new self that he told them to bear was the mark of patience. As Christ followers and as those who have received the gift of the Holy Spirit we can yield our lives to the Spirit’s calling and exhibit the mark of patience.
