All The Quotes From My Sermon On Self-Control
If you're someone who loves good quotes, here are all the quotes from my sermon on self-control yesterday. Enjoy!
Proverbs 25:28 (NLT) “A person without self-control is like a city with broken-down walls.”
Pastor Tommy Nelson said, “You cannot succeed in life when you can’t control those passions that can dishonor, discredit, and destroy your life.”
Pastor Charles Swindoll wrote, “Every one of us has gotten angry and lost our temper, only to regret it. Every one of us has allowed our schedule to get so overloaded that, looking back over the week, we must admit to ourselves, if we're honest, we've not stopped to pray even once. Every one of us has eaten too much, even when we swore we wouldn't. Who hasn't fought yet again the old battle with lust or greed or materialism or anger or envy? There is an answer to this daily dilemma, a solution that is easy to identify. There is a secret to holding back. Self-control . . . that's the key . . . that's the answer.”
Self-control is doing what is right, even when you don’t feel like it. Andy Manning
Characterlab.org says that self-control is “Doing what’s best in the long-run despite short-term temptations.”
Focusonthefamily.com says, “Self-control is the discipline of delaying impulse or gratification for a greater purpose or cause. When we exercise self-control, we are saying "no" for the sake of a bigger and better "yes." We are trading something in the here and now for something greater in the future.”
Stephen Covey wrote, “The ability to subordinate an impulse to a value is the essence of the proactive person.”
Galatians 5:22-23 “22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control.”
Pastor J. R. Miller said of self-control, “This is the sum of all learning and experience. It is the completeness of all spiritual culture. The man in us is only part a man—while we are not master of ourselves.”
Pastor J. R. Miller said, “Self-control is self-mastery. It is kingship over all life. At the center of your being, sits yourself. Your seat ought to be a throne. If you are not in control, if there are any forces in your nature which are unruly, which do not acknowledge your sway—you are not the king which you should be. Part of your kingdom is in insurrection. The strength of your life is divided. The strong man is he whose whole being is subject to him.”
Plato said, “The first and best victory is to conquer self.”
Jean Paul Getty said, "The individual who wants to reach the top in business must appreciate the might and force of habit. He must be quick to break those habits that can break him - and hasten to adopt those practices that will become the habits that help him achieve the success he desires."
Skillsyouneed.com says, “The basic premise of self-control is the use of reason to control instinct, whether that instinct is for something bad or against something that is good for us.”
Pastor J. R. Miller said, “Nothing is more pitiful—than a life which is made to be strong, kingly, noble, calm, and peaceful—but which is, instead, the slave of every excitement, every temper, every resentment, every appetite and passion.”
Pastor Rick Warren said, “A lot of potential influence can be cut short by a short temper.”
Rick Warren said, “If you don’t determine how you will spend your time, you can be sure that others will decide for you. You’ll have to become a great steward of time to be successful in life.”
Rick Warren said that successful people “learn to live on less than what they make, and they invest the difference into savings and give to causes that matter. The value of a budget is that it tells your money where you want it go rather than wondering where it went!”
Dave Ramsey often says, “If you live like no one else, one day you will live like no one else.”
Donald S. Whitney said, “Our bodies are inclined to ease, pleasure, gluttony, and sloth. Unless we practice self-control, our bodies will tend to serve evil more than God. We must carefully discipline ourselves in how we “walk” in this world, else we will conform more to its ways rather than to the ways of Christ.”
John Maxwell said, “Motivation gets us going, but discipline keeps us growing. The difference between a winner and a whiner is that a whiner wants to feel good before they do something. Winners say, ‘I have to do something before I feel It.’”
Pastor Charles Stanley said, “Discipline, not desire, determines destiny.”
Brian Tracy said, “The single most important quality of success is self-discipline. Self-discipline means that you have the ability, within yourself, based on your strength of character and willpower, to do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not. Character is the ability to follow through on a resolution after the enthusiasm with which the resolution was made has passed. It is not what you learn that is decisive for your future. It is whether or not you can discipline yourself to pay the price, over and over, until you finally obtain your objective.”
Jim Rohn said, “Where does it [self-confidence] come from? Not neglecting the small, daily disciplines. It comes from feeling good about yourself at the end of the day, knowing that you poured it on; you did your best. It comes from the lack of neglect.”
Thucydides said, “Self-control is the chief element in self-respect, and self-respect is the chief element in courage.”
M. Scott Peck said, “Self-discipline is self-caring.”
Jim Rohn said, “There are two major pains in life. The pain of discipline, and the pain of regret.”
Jack Canfield said, “Discipline weighs ounces, but regret weighs tons when you allow your life to drift along unfulfilled.”
2 Peter 1:5-7 "5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, 6 knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness,"
John Maxwell said, “Discipline comes with a price tag. Discipline is costly. It demands a continual investment of time, energy, and commitment at the expense of momentary pleasure and ease. Discipline means paying hours of practice to win the prize of skill. Discipline means giving up short-term benefits for the hope of future gain. Discipline means pressing on to excellence long after everyone else has settled for average.”
J.R. Miller said, “How can we get the mastery over ourselves? It is not attained by a mere resolve. We cannot simply assert our self-mastery, and then have it. We cannot put self-control on the throne, by a mere proclamation. It is an achievement which must be won by ourselves, and won by degrees. It is a lesson which must be learned, a long lesson which it takes many days to learn.
David Mathis said, “Ultimately, our controlling ourselves is about being controlled by Christ…. Christian self-control is not finally about bringing our bodily passions under our own control, but under the control of Christ by the power of his Spirit.”
J. Hampton Keathley III said, “The essence of such self-regulation is the ability to delay or refuse an impulse in the service of biblical truth, values, beliefs, and objectives.”
Pastor Keathley went on to say, “The essence of self-control, then, is the growing manifestation of the holy qualities and character of the Lord Jesus as Christians seek to exchange their lives, which were formerly dominated by the cravings of the old life, with the new and glorious life of Christ. The means for this is a Word-filled and Spirit-filled.”
J. R. Miller said, “A man has self-control when he sits in his place—and has his hands on all the reins of his life. He is kingly when he has complete master of his temper, his speech, his feelings, his appetites; when he can be quiet under injury and wrong; deeply hurt but showing no sign of malice; patient and still under severe provocation; when he can stand amid temptations and not yield to them.”
Pastor Rick Warren said, “The more you accept God’s control over your life, the more self-control he gives you!”
J. R. Miller said, “We need divine help in learning the lesson. Yet we must be diligent in doing our part. God helps those who help themselves. When we strive to be calm and self-controlled, he puts his own strength into our heart. Then we shall find ourselves growing strong and gaining in self-mastery. The attainment will come slowly.
