Character Or Reputation?

February 13, 2014

Read: Revelation 3:1-6

You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. —Revelation 3:1
Bible in a Year:
Leviticus 14; Matthew 26:51-75

Legendary basketball coach John Wooden (1910–2010) believed that character is far more important than reputation. “Your reputation is what you’re perceived to be by others,” Coach Wooden often told his players, “but your character is what you really are. You’re the only one that knows your character. You can fool others, but you can’t fool yourself.”

In the book of Revelation, we find the words of the risen Christ to seven churches in Asia. To the church in Sardis, Jesus said, “I know your works, that you have a name [reputation] that you are alive, but you are dead” (Rev. 3:1). The Lord knew the truth about them, and no doubt deep down they knew it too. Jesus told them to wake up and strengthen the spiritual life inside them that was about to die (v.2). He urged them to remember the truth they had received, obey it, then turn around and start moving in a new direction (v.3).

When the Lord shows us what’s wrong in our lives, He always provides a remedy for change. When we turn from our sins, He forgives and strengthens us to start over.

How liberating to exchange a false spiritual reputation for the true, life-giving character that comes from knowing Christ our Lord!

Men talk too much of gold and fame,
And not enough about a name;
And yet a good name’s better far
Than all earth’s glistening jewels are. —Guest
The true test of our character is what we do when no one is watching.

GOD BLESS AND PROTECT OUR TROOPS AND OUR BELOVED NATION!



The Star Spangled Banner – Verse Four
(Click)


Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Posting may be a bit strange. For the third morning in a row my work computer has lost the drive that we work with. They have been running a deep scan all day.

Today is check day and they got me a laptop....it has NO bookmarks for work, and, of course, none of my stuff. I’m working from a flash drive I carry, thankfully, back and forth each day and is mostly up to date with my Canteen “stuff”. I can’t work without the mouse, but if I even brush the little touch pad the pointer goes anywhere it likes and types there. It has been a rough day. d:o)

It was clear today, and snowing.

Ice crystals were falling from clear skies and dusted the cars.

I posted the last as it typed. LOL! The cursor jumped back and the line is all jumbled up.

Did you sally forth today? Polar vortex arrived yet?

Are you feeling any better yet?
