The Life and Teachings of ChristSteve Gregg

Steve Gregg discusses the importance of controlling one's thoughts and words in accordance with Christian beliefs.

Gregg cautions against letting desires, whether natural or not, control one's actions and encourages Christians to stay away from temptation as much as possible in order to avoid sin. Ultimately, he stresses the importance of aligning one's thoughts and words with values of righteousness and self-control.
