BUILT TO LAST!!!!

Well, today, I am going to do something I have no idea how to do but I just do my best. Tong Yan, you owe me lunch for this. haha kidding. well, Dorry here and today's post is on last week's sermon on built to last. Well, for us have a long term growth spiritually in God, values are necessary (Matt 12:25). Well below, are 10 important values needed for long term growth

2 Peter 1:5-11
5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.
10Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, 11and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
