Self Discipline
Have you discovered the key to being successful as a Christian? Of course, we don't measure "success" in dollars as the world does. We measure it in terms of our life being pleasing to God. The key is self-discipline to the words of Jesus. He said that if we continue in His word, we are His disciples indeed, and the result will be that we will know the truth, and that will give us freedom.(John 8:31-32) Self-discipline means self-denial. It means listening to the voice of your conscience and the voice of the Holy Spirit. Consider Jesus. His ministry was a complete denial of self, from the temptation in the wilderness to Calvary's terrible cross. He denied His own will and disciplined Himself to the will of the Father for the love of God and mankind. So, make sure you are a disciple today-that you are disciplined to do the will of God. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
