A Coveted Compliment
Richard D Sandlin


Oswald Chambers, describing his dear and respected friend, Duncan MacGregor, used just three words: “Character, character, character.” This is just about as high a compliment one can be paid, other than their love for God.

Contrary to what some low people in high places may say, character counts. We hear a lot today in religious circles about a person’s faith, as if it were the pinnacle, not realizing it’s foundational. Peter tells us, “Add to your faith...” We are to be cultivating character as we grow in the Lord. It’s a continuous process that culminates in Heaven.

Until Christians once again begin to honor their commitments, pay their debts, show appreciation, clock in on time, (run legal) along with a list of other Godly character traits, we will never convince this world that we are made out from a different fiber. They’ll be content with their own garments.


The best collateral is character.

This paragraph got me thinking about a recent thread dealing with concealed weapons, pistol packing preachers and the 6th Commandment. It also once again begs the question: What would Jesus carry? WWJC

I think the only thing more rare than someone noticing the positive things a christian does is not noticing the negative things a christian does.
