Discussion: Self Control

What is self control?

Have you had difficulty with self control?

How is self control related to maturity?

Have you felt like teachers or parents may try too much to control what you do through punishment or loss of priviledges? What would be a better motivator to get you to self control success? Failure?

What do you risk when you don’t exercise self control or learn it as a lifestyle?

(NIV) 1 Peter 5:6-8
“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. [7] Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. [8] Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
