SPIRIT WEEK Part 2: Self-control
In SPIRIT WEEK Part 2 here on GUWG, where we’re finishing up our look at each fruit of the Spirit.
Our final featured fruit: SELF-CONTROL.
Right before the Bible lists the fruit of the Spirit, it spells out in graphic detail the “fruit” of our uncontrolled sinful selves: drunkenness, sexual immorality, idolatry, hatred, rage and various other forms of discord, dissension and debauchery.
SPIRIT WEEK Part 2: Gentleness
In Part 2 of SPIRIT WEEK here on GUWG, where we’re taking a look at each fruit of the Spirit.
Today’s featured fruit: GENTLENESS.

SPIRIT WEEK Part 2: Faithfulness
SPIRIT WEEK Part 2: Goodness
It’s SPIRIT WEEK Part 2 here on GUWG, where we’re continuing our in-depth look at each fruit of the Spirit.
Today’s featured fruit: GOODNESS.
Jesus said it best: “No one is good — except God alone.” (Mark 10:18)

SPIRIT WEEK Part 2: Patience
It’s SPIRIT WEEK Part 2 here on GUWG, where we’re continuing our look at each fruit of the Spirit.
Today’s featured fruit: PATIENCE.
Patience is one fruit that’s often missing from my basket. Here’s what most of my prayers on this topic sound like:
“Hurry up God and give me patience … NOW!”
Just in case you’re even a little bit like me, here are my all-time favorite anti-impatience verses. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you sloooooow down and read ’em patiently.
