Uncontrollable?

Have you ever heard someone say they just couldn't help themselves or maybe said it yourself a few times. Most times people are talking about getting angry and "losing it". (Which also results in making a bad circumstance worst.) The person just "loses control" and yells, curses, screams, gets red faced and sometimes even becomes violent. The response may be aimed at a parent, child, spouse, some other family member, friend or co-worker. Now you may have been provoked and therefore responding incorrectly was easy, however your response was still your choice. This consider the rationale that losing control was not anything that could be stopped from happening.
Consider this circumstance, you are sitting alone in a sound proof room and the room is set to burst into flames if the weight on the chair is reduced by more than 5%. Now the other issue is that your hands have been hooked up to a device that will cut off one of your fingers if you make any noise above your normal breathing level. The test of your self-control is set to last 3 hours. The tester will return at the end of the 3 hours to turn off the devices. You are facing a large flat screen TV with the sound coming through a set of headphones you have on, closed caption is also on. The TV is showing people you know telling what they dislike about you and all of the changes you need to make to become a decent human being as they see it. When the tester returns here are the questions: How many fingers will you still have? Will you need to be rushed to a hospital burn unit? I will venture that you will not have lost a finger and that you would still be sitting in the chair without need for burn treatments. The only reason being that there is no one who can not exercise self-control with the right motivation, the real problem is that many people do not want to control themselves.

Now do you really think that a Holy God will accept you on your terms or His terms. His terms include His son Jesus having died to pay the price for sin. Suggest strongly that you at least check out the book of John in the Bible to find out about the terms God has set. Just as with self-control, the choice is yours.
