The biblical virtue of self-control is one that we want our children to practice habitually so that it comes naturally to them later in life. What are the differences between self-control and self-discipline? Well, we talk through both of those ideas and which one we ultimately want to develop in our children. Once we're able to operate in this virtue, we will become God-dependent instead of other-dependent. Self-control is not only about controlling our actions; but it's also about controlling our thoughts and attitudes too. Through exercising this virtue we are allowing the fruits of righteousness to be cultivated in our lives and in our children's lives.
