    Self-centeredness is the main problem for marriages. If you’re married, it’s the main problem in your marriage. If you’re not married, it will be the main problem if you ever get married. If you’re divorced, it probably was the main problem in the marriage you left.

    2 Tim. 1:7, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline." Last week we saw how we can counter fear by operating in God's power. Today we'll see our need to overcome fear to operate in the spirit of love and self-discipline.
