Make Every Effort S20e2 2peter1:7

The natural qualities of godliness do not easily come to mankind except by the eager application of relational practices aimed toward God.  Your habits will for the most part, determine your holiness;  and what you do practically  determines your participation in the divine nature.

Assess your virtue, knowledge, self-control, steadfastness, godliness, brotherly affection and love.  The growth of these markers demonstrate whether you really are making every effort. 

You should not be doing this alone. You should have an "inordinate, unexplainable, affection for an actual, real, nameable, authoritative, organized body of Christ." Love the knucklehood. ;-). And subscribe at bewithme.us and on instagram, like on Facebook and Twitter.
