    Everybody struggles with self-control. We all wish we had more of it.

    INTRODUCTION Love is the first flavor of the fruit of the Spirit and today we come to the last, self-control. I think these two virtues are placed first and last because love is the primary fruit and drives the rest, and self-control is the virtue that holds them all together.

    The ball that drops at Times Square is called the "Star of Hope" and on its face are the "wishes" of our nation for courage, peace, fellowship etc. But if we listen to Scripture, we have a hope based on something more than "wishing upon a star."

That got me to wondering about the history of the New Year’s Eve “ball” and what I discovered was intriguing: · The 1st "time-ball" was installed on top of ...read more

The Bible repeatedly emphasizes the importance of making a choice. Let me share a lighthearted story to illustrate this point. There ...read more
