Climbing the Staircase

📚 CLIMBING THE STAIRCASE

Adding to Your Faith, One Step at a Time

A study of 2 Peter 1:5–8 • with Psalm 107 • King James Version

Peter’s eight virtues are not a menu to pick from. They are a staircase, and every step holds the weight of the one above it. This is a study of 2 Peter 1:5–8, with Psalm 107 in the middle of it, asking what happens to a believer who stops climbing — and what happens when he cries out.

Twenty-two chapters, gathered into six short booklets and released one at a time. Each booklet stands on its own, and each one is readable right here with a printable PDF alongside it.

Said plainly, before anything else: none of this is about how to be saved, or how to stay saved. A child of God cannot be lost. This is about how near to God a saved man walks while he is here — and what it costs him when he stops climbing.
