For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they render you neither useless nor unfruitful in the true knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.                                                                                                                  2 Peter 1:8  Today, we look at another reason for believers to have godly attributes as a standard in their lives.

Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me and know my anxious thoughts; and see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way.                                                                                                                     Psalm 139:23-24  If there was ever a prayer that only the truly serious follower of…

For You formed my inward parts; you wove me in my mother’s womb.

As far…
