"Self-control is not about having lots of rules for what you must do and not do; it is to make it your goal to please him who has shown you such grace—to please your heavenly Father who has adopted you and to avoid grieving the Spirit who has chosen to dwell in you."

"Self-control means living within the bounds of God’s law of liberty, without compromise."

"Self-control is the Spirit-enabled ability to avoid excess and to stay within God-given boundaries."

"This world valorizes success. This world rewards success. God is different. He is faithful, and he loves to see faithfulness in his people, and it is that which he recognizes and rewards as we enter his glory."

"You cannot become faithful by trying; it is God who produces the fruit. But you won’t become faithful without trying; for the Spirit will work as you get to work."
