11For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.–Titus 2 (emphasis)

1. When is the last time you told yourself “no.”
2. Self-control, upright, and godly. Do those words describe you?
3. What would your spouse say about that?
4. Does your social media reflect those words?
5. In a world that preaches self-love, practice self-control.
6. Stop saying “yes” to what is sinfully passionate and ungodly in your life.
7. Self-control says “no.”–JMB
