Articles

Virtues in the Bible

2003-09
This was my first article posted online. I did thorough research to create a (non-exhaustive) list of virtues the Bible tells us to display. For each virtue I tried to find the best verse (or verses).
The article was not written specifically for MKs. However, it does have special relevance for missionary kids, since they become familiar with very diverse value systems and thus are often particularly deliberate in forming their own values.
