COT: ”But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.“
‭‭II Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

As men, so many times we get stuck “in routine” or “on brand”. We plateau in some area of our lives and that’s where we stay.
Can’t lose that extra 10 lbs
Can’t get that promotion
Can’t connect with my spouse/girlfriend the way I should

But one major aspect I think we miss is changing so we can get those things. To add the missing components to break through that barrier.

It’s the same spiritually. Our text talks about adding things to continue to grow and not to stagnate.

That’s why we do things like F3.

COT:
Who wishes to be rigorously honest and tolerant? Who wants to confess his faults to another and make restitution for harm done? Who cares anything about a Higher Power, let alone meditation and prayer? Who wants to sacrifice time and energy in trying to carry A.A.’s message to the next sufferer? No, the average alcoholic, self-centered in the extreme, doesn’t care for this prospect — unless he has to do these things in order to stay alive himself.
