The Energize Ticket (4 of 6)
Series: Your Ticket to Life
Frank Damazio
Introduction: In 2 Peter 1:1-11 we are given the tickets to life that we are to understand and to use. These are the tickets that allow us to go to new levels, new opportunities, and new challenges without failing. The next ticket is the "energize" ticket, which stands for self-control. This is obviously a huge need in our world, but before we say too much about our horrible, out of control world, we should look at ourselves, our own out of control things. We are to be lords over ourselves. We are over not under all our emotions, thoughts, desires, and so on.
