Carry each other"s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

Women of Worship is a group of men and women with a desire to express love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We hunger for God's word, support one another in prayer and desire a closer relationship with Him.

Heather and I feel that God has put a genuine desire in our hearts to share His word with people. This blog is our attempt to get the Word of God to our friends in a practical and loving way. We are hoping to create a community of people that strengthen one another for the Kingdom of God. No matter where you are in your walk you are welcome here. Please feel free to share prayer requests, opinions, questions or anything that you feel led to say.

Self-control

Many of us will enjoy the next six weeks of the year in one form of celebration or another. We will be with friends, family, co-workers. We will be at intimate dinners and large parties. How will you behave?

Esther1:8 By the king's command each guest was allowed to drink in his own way, for the king instructed all the wine stewards to serve each man what he wished.


Self-control. I am not saying you should be scrooge or not go and enjoy an egg nog. But, we are called, as Christians to be set apart. We are to set the example. There is plenty of fun to be had when you incorporate self-control. Maybe even more. When you know when to say "no", when you know when not to say the joke you want to say, when you keep your wits so you can still be the man or woman God has called you to be....all things turn out better.
Proverbs 25:28 Like a city whose walls are broken down
is a man who lacks self-control

I encourage you to enjoy all of the joy and laughter that comes with the holiday celebrations but don't forget to go in with a bit of self-control. Pray for wisdom, pray for self-control. He will be with you in all your holiday jubilation ready to be glorified in all you do.
