Kingdom Awareness

We have the understanding that our virtue is supposed to support or line up with what we value.  While that is true in some cases—then why have we become a society that places value on things that rob us and strip us from our virtue?  To value something means that you hold something in high esteem, high regard, you protect it, keep it, you treasure it.  And since a virtue is a behavior, then the things we value drive our choices, actions, and motives.  But what if to protect what we value steals the virtue of having a godly life.  We have placed more value on credentials instead of character, rich over righteous, position over principle, and power over piety.  The reversal of these all of these depend on where you place your value.  What are you willing to do to keep what you have?
