MAINTAINING A GODLY
CHARACTER AND ACTION
Proverbs 22:1 A good name (literally
"character") is rather to be chosen
than great riches, and loving favour
rather than silver and gold.
2 Peter 1:5 And beside this, giving all
diligence, add to your faith virtue
(moral excellence or character)
• Reputation is what you are supposed to
be; Character is what you are.
• Reputation is made in a moment;
Character is built in a lifetime.
• Your reputation is learned in an hour;
your character does not come to light for
a year.
• A single newspaper report gives your
reputation; a life of toil gives you your
character.
• Reputation makes you rich or makes you
poor; Character makes you happy or
makes you miserable.
• Reputation is what men say about you on
your tombstone; Character is what GOD
say about you before HIS throne.
• Your reputation is what men think you
are. Your character is what God knows
you to be.
