VIRTUES AND REFLECTIONS IN THE PLACE OF PRAYER. PART 1

SPIRITUAL VIRTURE IS A PROFOUND REFLECTION OF THE TRUE NATURE OF THE FOLLOWER OF CHRIST. WHEN WE LOSS SIGHT OF BIBLICAL UNDERSTANDING AND PRACTICE OF VIRTURE, WE REDUCE THE WORK OF FAITH TO A RELIGIOUS EXERCISE WITHOUT POWER. VIRTURE IS A BYPRODUCT OF A SOUND, DISCIPLINE, AND HEALTHY SPIRITUAL LIFESTYLE.

Many of the things that characterizes the Christian faith are more of a virtue than doctrinal matters. You cannot however, separate virtue from doctrine. Doctrine is the framework, or template that guides our spiritual virtues. We are unfortunately seeing the extremes of these two concepts that are designed to work together.
