Self Control and hospitality

He that has no rule over his own spirit is like a city that is broken down, and without walls. Proverbs 25:28

Wow, I'm already a week behind. Last week's evening sermon was on Self control. Dr. Bordwine pointed out that Self control is not only an issue of anger, it is an issue of the heart that can affect countless things in many ways. Simply put, a lack of self control can cause us to not resist temptation. We can not get over this issue by ourselves, only God can give us self control.

Instead of the common practice of "tagging" I would like to ask my readers to pray for self control for both themselves and others, as it is a vital issue which needs much prayer.

Last night Dr. Bordwine spoke on hospitality, stating that sharing a meal is not the only way to be hospitable. Other ways include calling people, sharing work and other activities together, basically just sharing, whether it be encouragement, or physical goods.
