Self-Control

I watched a service video about self-control published on Youtube on August 7, 2022. I wasn't there, but it was a good sermon. Self-control is more than about. I know I'm not as self-control better at and still am learning how to control.

Controlling is what has been written in the Bible and needs a great understanding. That's not "what should I do?" and "What for?", it isn't. But, it is about the Holy Spirit having a role. The Spirit has included a decision that wants to make. Hard, best, disappointing, and terrible come with risks and consequences. I was sitting down in the Holygrounds and thinking about what the next. Then made a tough decision, and the "surprise" came it was a tough journey, but God guided me in the right way that I have never considered before. Making a decision is self-control, do which is better or not better.

I spent at a bar, and at times, I drank a beer, it was relieved. But, at other times, I could have said no and won't be going to a bar. Instead, I would have gone to a church. But, it went! You can't get to turn back. Then, what do you expect? Fix it! Fix it for better. Do repent! 

We see how Jesus forgave a woman caught on adultery in actions in John 8:1-11. You know your sin has been forgiven, but it doesn't mean you have to make a sin again and think He forgives you already. You can't fraud him! He loves you many times, you need to love back many times. Love is commitment and as well self-control means you love God. We promise not to make a sin. 

I have my lack, I open up, to be honest. I lied for much, lying is about what I hate, and try not to lie again. Live in full of lies, uncomfortable and shouldn't be, though. I want to be honest. That is about my self-control. Be promise myself to God that I have to be honest and committed not to lie anymore. 

We see in the book of Proverbs, in verse 16:32 and 25:28. "one with self-control than one who takes a city" Proverbs 16:32, remind me of a pastor who said, I forgot what the point was, but I see how important having better self-control. 

Jesus has faced persecution, lust, temptation, and threat, but He still loved, prayed, and ordered His disciples to love instead of revenge. He has never battled, and He had 0 war! 0 war! Who can believe this fact? It is what stuff you should know how important better self-control is. 

Self-control is commitment, love, having a better understanding, knowing how the Holy Spirit works, and praying. Asking the hint, make sure you have a promise, be yourself, and be what you need to mature. I say you can do it because I believe you can.

Asking for the hint and working on it!

A veiled woman lighting up a candle in the Orthodox Church, source: Adobe Stock Roman Catholic Pope Francis appeared a 60-minute on CBS's live-streaming interview with a female reporter, Norah O'Donnell. She was curious in a question towards on him,  " I'm curious, for a little girl growing up Catholic today, will she ever have the opportunity to be a deacon and participate as a clergy member in the church ?" Pope Francis simply, saying, " No ." O'Donnell seemed to trying to push on him about her idea of the progressive and reformation in the Catholic Church.

How Christianity View Generation Z?

Source: Asbury Revival 2023, Cincinnati Enquirer I spent the weekend working and playing on a PC/ computer. I learned and watched about Asbury Revival which went viral in Wilmore, Kentucky. Approximately 15.000 attendances worshipping at a university, any sources tell. Which were mostly college and high school students. That was goosebumps! Felt like "Wow, America is back on the right way!" and "That's nice." Generation Z, where somebody who was born around the 1990s to 2000s, living depends on technology and that is called the modern era. We have cellphones, tablets, Instagram, Twitter, and laptops, and we depend on technology the most. I heard that is also called Millennial Generation. We have easier access than the previous generation. I'm one of this generation. I depend on technology since I can't live without them. As you do and exactly, you can't live without them, aren't you? Well, we will learn about how Christianity views Generation Z. ...

Last Supper, source: Artchi The Paris Olympics got hit a different whole idea which is usually taken held traditionally at a national stadium - Paris chose to boat instead a long walking and performed beyond nonsense that they performed "satanic, promoting the LGBTQ, and destroying the Last Supper". That would caused an international angry which is considered mocking Christianity faith. The Last Supper is popularity whom, an Italian painter, Leonard da Vinci. He made the Last Supper in 1495-1498. The Last Supper is dedicated to the last day of Jesus Christ where He put His blood and body to the twelve disciples before Judas eventually cheated. Jesus Christ, then crucified and rose at the day three - that Jesus had fulfilled His prophecy. I remember when I studied at a Catholic school, I always saw the Last Supper at dining room or reception room.
