Character In Focus: Gifted in Christ. Revealed Through Grace (Audio)
There is no greater personal attribute than character. Everything we are before God and people is summed up in the character that drives everything we think, say and do. Allow the Word of God and the teaching to both challenge and encourage you.
Consider the Scriptures and quotations below. Our character is shaped by Christ and by our experiences/training---or the lack thereof. Listen to my teaching, Character In Focus, Part One, on the Firm Foundation podcast on iTunes.
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely...” ~ Proverbs 10:9
And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in knowledge and all discernment, 10 that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ, 11 being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Philippians 1:9
I write so that you may know how you ought to conduct yourself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1 Tim 3:14
“Reputation is the shadow. Character is the tree.“ Abraham Lincoln said,
The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of character and faith. ~ Billy Graham
