Virtue.

                                                                                Virtue.


An Active Quality to be Developed.


According as His Divine Power hath given unto us “all things” that pertain unto “life and godliness”, through the “knowledge” of Him that hath called us to “glory and virtue”.  (2 Peter 1:3).  Study; become Approved and rightly divide The Word.


Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any “virtue” and if there is anything praiseworthy-Mediate on These Things”.  (Philippians 4:8)


A Virtuous Heart/Mind Cannot Dwell with a Lying and a Selfish Heart/Mind.


Our Daily Nugget

is letting us know that Virtue starts Between Our Ears Through “What” We Think. Thinking about things that are of “good report” increases our Virtue.  Thinking about things that are “not of good report” drives the Spirit of Virtue away from us.


Virtue - Moral excellence, goodness, and righteousness that comes from “knowing and obeying” God. 


We Control What we Think, then What we Think Controls Us.

We must Think on Things that Leads to Life, not things that Leads to Death.


God is Greatly Pleased When Our Living is “Virtuous”; it indicates that we “Fear The Lord”; that we Hate what God hates, and we Love what God loves.  Sincerity and Truth is the Foundation of a Virtuous Spirit, pride cannot dwell there.  We are not virtuous when we are pride filled.  Pride leads to the fall and to death.


Jesus has done all the heavy lifting;

Our job is to Believe, Trust and to Obey; “With Expectancy”.


Jesus said to us to “Ask and We Shall Receive”; this includes asking for a Virtuous Spirit.  To understand virtue and to pray to God for virtue, “Is Great Wisdom”.  Virtue is like a compass that leads us to Right Living; it encompasses Loving the Lord and Loving our Neighbors “As We Love Ourselves”.  


Create a “Desire” to be Virtuous, Pray for it, 

and Watch What Happens.

The Heart/Mind.

                                                                        The Heart/Mind. The Heart/Mind of Christ or the Heart/Mind of Satan?   Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be “likeminded”, “Having the Same Love”, “being of one accord, of one mind”.   “Let nothing be done” through “strife or vainglory”; but in “lowliness of mind (heart) let each esteem other better than themselves”.   Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.   “Let This Mind (Heart) Be In You”, “which was also in Christ Jesus”.   (Philippians 2:2-5) The Heart/Mind of Christ is “A Priceless Blessing”; Available to Us. Our Daily Nugget is Paul letting the Church at Philippi and us know that Kingdom Citizens should be “Of One Mind (Heart/Thinking)”.   Since we have One Lord, One ...

Come.

                                                                                  Come. The Spirit and the Bride says, “Come”. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come”!   And let the one who “Hears” Come!   Let the one who is “Thirsty” Come”; and let the one who “Wishes” take the free gift of the water or life.   (Revelation 22:17) This is a “Call” for all to “accept the gift of eternal life offered through Christ! Our Daily Nugget is letting Kingdom Citizens know that we “Must Be About Our Father’s Business” of Sharing the Invitation to “Come” with everybody we can.   We do this through our Living and our Words.   What we Do speaks so loud, till no one hears what we say.   Our saying is the Destiny of our Thinking; doing is a natural follow through. To Think ...

Vain Glory!

                                                                            Vain Glory! Vain Glory is Empty Glory.. Let us not be desirous of “Vain Glory”, provoking one another, envying one another.   (Galatians 5:26) To Glorify Self, is Evidence of Vain Glory and It Leaves One Empty. Vain Glory   is “excessive pride”, a desire for “empty fame” or recognition based on one’s own merits, achievements, or qualities.   It’s an “empty glory” stemming from conceit and a focus on “personal glory” rather than God’s.   Vain glory is considered a dangerous sin and a form of idolatry (the worshipping of false gods), opposing the Christian virtues of humility and selflessness, and can lead to negative consequences, envy, strife, and spiritual decline.   (AI Overview) Humility is Protect...
