The Power of Self Control

September 28, 2022

Why is everyone so angry? There are many answers to this question, but the best is offered by the apostle James.

Today, we talk about self control. We define it and share why it’s important. We note that, if you’re 95% in control, the other 5% will rule you. We talk about the different types of psychology, explaining the problem with materialism. We share why you should never give unsolicited advice, note that people change their minds, and urge you to ask yourself what’s fighting you for control. We note the relative unimportance of control of others and discuss the proper role of feelings.

“There is no good thing that comes from my lack of self-control.” DMH

- Dr. Matt Hook
