Living the virtuous life is not for the faint of heart Part 1
Living the virtuous life is not for the faint of heart Part 1/3 Having returned from speaking at the High School Retreat in Cameroon last week I thought it would be beneficial to publish the essence of my talks on this blog. I might as well get as much mileage out of them as I can. My topic for the evening was “Becoming a Man/Woman of Virtue” . Virtue is not a word you hear much about these days. It seems unattainable and maybe even undefinable. Why strive for something that you can’t ever reach? Or can we? Theme Verse: Philippians 4:8,9 “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true , whatever is noble , whatever is right , whatever is pure , whatever is lovely , whatever is admirable —if anything is excellent or praiseworthy —think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.” So, here’s a command to be virtuous. I’d say it’s not optional.
