KINGDOM VIRTUE

There are churches on every corner in America.

But who would dare say there is virtue on every corner?

We are living in a time when millions have faith in Jesus Christ — and that faith seems almost ineffective. Powerless. Unchanged lives. Unopposed darkness. A culture in freefall while the church watches from the sideline.

The answer is not a mystery. It is written plainly in the Word of God.

You must add to your faith — virtue.

That is where the link in Peter's chain was broken.

Instead of virtue, believers were pointed straight to knowledge. And now we have generations of Christians with massive amounts of knowledge about Christ — and that knowledge is doing almost nothing in their lives. It was supposed to be the doorway into all things that pertain to life and godliness. Instead it sits on a shelf collecting dust.

Because knowledge without virtue underneath it has no foundation to stand on.

It puffs up. It impresses. It wins arguments. But it does not transform. It does not advance the Kingdom. It does not make the army larger or the darkness retreat.

Aretē — courageous moral excellence — is the activating force that makes the knowledge of Christ operational. Put it back in its rightful place and watch the rest of the chain come alive.

It's time to reforge the chain.
