"Self-Control" what we built and what we said

We want to partner with you in creating a gospel-centered foundation.  So this E-newsletter keeps you in the "Know" with what is happening in the Children's Ministry of  Immanuel.  Feel free to respond back with questions or suggestions.  If you would like to be removed let us know that as well.
We have all heard it said or have had it said to us "use self-control".  But what is it, and what does it look like? 
 
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 25:28 "Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control".  

Self-control helps us say no to wrong and yes to what God wants.  These houses (pictured above) were an illustration of how God uses self-control to protect and build/grow fruit in us.

Next time your child enters a candy aisle and you say "use self-control" remind them of these houses.  We all have a choice to either say YES (protected and strong) or NO (broken and exposed) to what God wants. 

The more we allow God to help us use self-control the quicker and more effectively we will live out of the other "fruit of the Spirit".  Lets make God look attractive to others watching and use self-control. Titus 2:10
