Prudence - Wisdom Applied to Practice

Let us say then, leaving unresolved problems behind us, that virtues are in general beneficial characteristics, and indeed ones that a human being needs to have, for his own sake and the sake of his fellows (Philippi Foot, Prof. Emeritus, UCLA, Virtue and Vices).

Feed Your Faith

Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed. And as a matter of fact, if you examined a hundred people who had lost their faith in Christianity, I wonder how many of them would turn out to have been reasoned out of it by honest argument? Do not most people drift away? (C. S. Lewis, Virtue and Vice)

Vice and Virtue

bob@cmfhq.org (Bob Flynn) — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 15:00:00 GMT

"Vice and Virtue to the modern ear convey meanings twisted by our own culture and behavior. The word vice sounds benign, describing fundamentally harmless habits and attitudes, the kinds of things normal people do and feel." C. S. Lewis, Virtue and Vice

“To love sin is far worse than to commit it, for a man may be suddenly tripped up or commit it through frailty.” Arthur W. Pink, A Fourfold Salvation

Oral Hygiene — "You'll wonder where the yellow went." I remember the jingle from the Pepsodent toothpaste commercial. I suppose with the advent of modern dentistry we would not think of letting the barnacles grow on our MacLean's smile. However, what about the moral decay we see in the world society each day?

Sexual Purity—On the Rock Or Under It?

bob@cmfhq.org (Bob Flynn) — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:57:00 GMT

Sexual immorality is one of the chief causes of divorce! That is why I continue to bring up the necessity for living the lives of purity to which we are called. It is time for the men of this country to take the hint from Job and make a covenant with our eyes! (Job 31:1)
