A Contrast in Character
Marshall Reid
Character is important. It is a person's moral or ethical quality
that makes up the character. It constitutes one's reputation.
Someone with good character is respected by men; they can be
trusted and their good character will be appreciated. Someone with
a bad character will be looked at disparagingly and will always be
viewed suspiciously. God also considers one's character important,
and His acceptance of individuals depends largely on their
character. It is axiomatic to say that someone with good character
is one who will humbly submit to God, but one with bad character
is full of pride, stubbornness, and selfishness.

we've been taught in the past or by a perception which has been
shaped by culture. When people think of "church," they
may be thinking of a building or a denomination or even an
association or club of some kind. But none of these are what the
Bible means by the term "church."

The term "church" itself does not neccessairly have a
religious connotation. It is used in Acts 19, for example, to
describe; an assembly in a city - a "town meeting." But
Jesus Christ invested the term with rich spiritual meaning when He
said, "I will build My church and the gates of Hades will not
overpower it" (Matthew 16:18).
