      <title>Keeping The Main Thing The Main Thing</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;His divine power has given us &lt;b&gt;everything&lt;/b&gt; we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and goodness.  Through these He has given us &lt;i&gt;His very great and precious promises&lt;/i&gt;, so that through them you may participate in the divine nature and escape the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness; knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.  &lt;i&gt;For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from &lt;b&gt;being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge&lt;/b&gt; of our Lord Jesus Christ&lt;/i&gt;.  But if anyone does not have them, he is nearsighted and blind, and has forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure.  &lt;b&gt;For if you do these things, you will never fall,&lt;/b&gt; and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.&amp;#8221;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;#8212;&lt;i&gt;2 Peter 1:3-11 (NIV)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
