Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

 (Tit 1:7) “For a bishop must be….(8)…. temperate;”  “Temperate”: from a root that means “strong in a thing; mastering”; so, able to overcome self – thus, self control. Yet, the Bible teaches that in truth, we need “God-control” rather than “self-control”. So, it means allowing the Holy Spirit to have control over our impulses, over our flesh.
