Why this series?

1. Virtue is the grass roots answer to all problems. Virtue is the answer to virtually every problem that has ever existed.  " If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land". 2 Chronicles 7:14

2. Virtue, as God defines it, keeps us from fruitlessness and stumbling and are what God uses to allow us to partake in His divine nature and abundantly give us entrance into the eternal kingdom:  "To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ: Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord; seeing that His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust. Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence, and in your moral excellence, knowledge, and in your knowledge, self-control, and in your self-control, perseverance, and in your perseverance, godliness, and in your godliness, brotherly kindness, and in your brotherly kindness, love. 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. For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins. Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble; for in this way the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you".

3. Because I need help too. I'm a work in progress just like you, and I need to hear what YOU have to say on these topics.  I'm only teaching this because I'm a teacher, not because I'm morally superior. In fact, there are some of these virtues that some of you are more mature in than I am. God put us in a spiritual family so we could grow together.
