How To Tame Your Temper Part 2 (9 of 11)
Series: God's Wisdom for Life's Decisions

Proverbs 16:32
We have been in a study of the book of Proverbs. Proverbs is a book of wisdom. So we call this series of lessons "God's Wisdom for Life's Decisions." And these lessons have been very, very practical. Lessons from God's Word about right where we live. You will notice that our lesson today is "How To Tame Your Temper - Part 2".

It is said of Alexander the Great, that Alexander the Great, who had conquered the world, once lost his temper and killed his best friend. And he cried out and he said, I have conquered the world but I cannot conquer my temper. And that is true of many business executives; it is true of many husbands and wives. People of great ability who have been able to do great things, have been able to conquer and achieve many things, but they cannot conquer their temper. And because of that, they often times, suffer great loss. And because of that, often times, all the achievements we make and all the good that we do is clouded and sometimes even lost because of losing our temper.
