Sunday Evening, January 24, 2010,

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.
Proverbs 4:14-15

Tonight, we had a discussion about self control. Bro Dillow focused on having control of your mind and guarding your heart. He addressed many areas of life that we must practice self control. The lesson was particularly good for the youth.

There are many things in life we must simply avoid if we are to be overcomers. For instance, Paul said to avoid youthful lusts and to flee fornication. Today we are bombarded with some much flesh on display. Pornography now comes knocking at our door, whereas in times past, it was only available to those who sought it out on bookshelf's in the darkness of dungy drugstores and less than wholesome places of entertainment. Today, via the Internet, it is available in our homes by the simple click of a mouse. If we are to be overcomers, we must exercise self control and flee from such temptation.

We discussed several areas in our lives where we must be overcomers. Bro Dillow spoke very plainly, but that is what we need for it is certain the the world is speaking very plainly in promoting their agenda.
