Building Trust

Proverbs 25:19;   Proverbs 31:11

I. Building Trust by Control

            A. Taking Control of your Self

1 Corinthians 13:11  When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

One of the characteristics of an unsaved man in II Tim. 3:3 is INCONTINENT - lack of self control

Take control of your:

• Time - have the proper balance in your time with God, family, work and fun/hobbies, etc.
• Temper - learn to speak with grace, love, patience and authority - not like a spoiled brat or child
• Testimony - a good name is rather to be CHOSEN - you do have a choice!!!

            B. Taking Control of the Spiritual Leadership

            C. Taking Control of the Spending
