Our store has been in a month long sales campaign. We've made calls to previous customers, sent a mailout to all homes that could afford a piano, put an ad in the newspaper, and put a 30 sec ad on TV. Oh yes...we have a big ad in the yellow pages.

Which do you think has been the most effective?

Self-control is essential, but it is also idealistic. Look around your church next Sunday and figure the percentage of skinny people in the congregation. Is there a lot of self-control represented? Everybody has various weaknesses. People don’t realize how sheep-like they really are. The self-determination movement can deceive people about their own decision making abilities, much to their long-term detriment. People will end up watching things that are inappropriate and harmful.

Self-control is essential, it promotes accountability with self. It balances your life out with what you see, hear, say and eat. Especially when no one is looking.:sshhh

I still don't understand how murder, adultery, idolatry, rape, incest homosexuality and other vile perversed sins were committed in the Bible when they didn't have any tv or internet to pursuade them or corrupt them. I guess it was "carnality" or their "flesh".

It isn’t really possible to engage in informed discussion of the topic without reading this book.
