The Test of a Person's Character



"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power.
Abraham Lincoln
 
 
 
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.  These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you. 
 
Titus 2: 11-15 (NIV)
 
 
Dwell upon these things in your heart and mind before our Lord God and pray that He will guide you in all your decisions and actions.  Finally, pray for the strength to do His will for His glory and the true love of self and others.     JNP
