Have you ever struggled to break a bad habit, or maybe control a harmful but powerful urge you have? Have you battled with a sweet tooth, and you struggle to control your sugar intake or maybe it’s an emotional thing like controlling your anger? Join me again, with the apostle Paul, in the sixth chapter of his first letter which he’s writing to the Christians in the wild city of Corinth, Greece in about 55ad.
