There used to be a great deal of value placed on someone’s name. For instance, how many sons have wanted to live in such ways as to uphold their dad’s good name? The Bible records, “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold” (Prov.
How do you think of yourself? Do you consider yourself a good model of what a Christian ought to be? Are you striving to live as the New Testament commands? What about how you think of other people? Are you constantly comparing the way that you act to how other people act? How about this?
