Understand virtue to create a bold change for your life. 2 Peter 1:3 (Amp) For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).

Break on through. You can get from here to there when you define your there, make a plan to move, and then start stepping until you break on through to the other side. 2 Peter 1: 5 – 7 (KJV) And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;…
Being a good wife requires me making the choice to be a good wife. It’s that simple and also that challenging. So, what exactly is a good wife? I know I’ve been struggling with this question in the last few months. If I was completely honest with myself, I’d admit I’ve been struggling since I…
