KEY QUESTION: How does God free me from addictions and sinful habits?
Temperance: “the dominion which one has over oneself or something…, the dominion that one has over his thoughts, words, and actions.”
You have temperance when you are able to DO what you intend to DO and resist what you don’t want to do.

TEMPERANCE may not be a natural tendency of yours. But it is a supernatural one. That’s the key.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.” (Galatians 5:22–23)

KEY IDEA: I have the power through Christ to get myself under control. Christ in me is the power that gets myself under control.

October 15, 2017 • Mike Matijevich

KEY VERSE: “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. 4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.” (Philippians 2:3-4). KEY QUESTION: “What does it mean to value others before myself?” “For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.” Luke 14:11 KEY IDEA: I choose to esteem others above myself. “For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” Romans 12:3
