We all know what a lack of self-control can do. It puts the extra pounds on. It causes us to light up another cigarette. It's why wives get beat up by husbands. It's why teens get pregnant and why adults have affairs. It's why credit card debt reaches the thousands of dollars, it's a lack of self control. It also affects our relationships. Without self-control, I'm vulnerable to all kinds of problems. Where is your greatest struggle with self-control? Uncontrolled anger. Uncontrolled lust. Uncontrolled spending -- the number one cause of divorce in America is financial stress. Uncontrolled drinking. Uncontrolled ambition. Uncontrolled tongue.
