04/19/21 KEYS TO IMPROVEMENT

SELF DISCIPLINE is essential to improvement, development, success and growth.

MAKE CERTAIN that you include SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT in your daily life.

"Muscle Memory" is training the muscles through mobility repetition.

"Habit Formation" is retraining behavior through deliberately repeated activities.

"Mental Development" is accomplished through study and focused intellectual attention.

Spiritual Growth is the result of a dynamic, submissive relationship with Jesus Christ and obedience to the Holy Spirit through meditatively studying, believing and following the Holy Bible.

2 Peter 1:3-12 (read carefully)

3  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:

4  Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

5  And beside this, giving all diligence,

add to your faith virtue;

and to virtue knowledge;

6  And to knowledge temperance;

and to temperance patience;

and to patience godliness;

7  And to godliness brotherly kindness;

and to brotherly kindness charity.

8  For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9  But he that lacketh these things is blind,

and cannot see afar off,

and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.

 

10  Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure:

for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:

11  For so an entrance

shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

12  Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things,

though ye know them,

and be established in the present truth.
