Character!!!!

Abraham Lincoln once said, .........
“Character is like a tree and reputation like its shadow. The shadow is what we think of it; the tree is the real thing.”

The famous basketball coach John Wooden said something very similar: ......
“The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.”

Everyone has character. The question is whether one's character is good or bad. In our modern society, bad character is lauded and rewarded while good character is condemned and ridiculed. Is it any wonder that we have a population of corrupt politicians in Washington?

No wonder to me what soever.

This was a good post.

I agree wholeheartedly. I have learned the only way to truly know someone is by testing the spirits, seeing the fruit of the spirits and their character.

Anyone can say and do but to truly "witness" and measure with God's Word the genuineness and validity of what you are seeing it's important to also back everything up scripturally.
