906B: Self-Control: Mirage Or Miracle?
Nearly every page in the book of Proverbs reveals the need for self-control: Godly restraint in our attitudes, godly restrain in our appetites, and godly restrain in our actions and activities. Only the Christian under the Spirit's control can experience the miracle of self-control that the book of Proverbs describes as the normal Christian life. We are to choose who we will serve - the spirit or the flesh.
