REPUTATION

That Kids a BULLY……….Hey did you know Billys a RICH KID………Alice

 will DATE anyone that breathes……….That guys a HOTI………..hes got

RELIGION so hes a preacher boy…….She is a good ATHLETE. These are a

few Reputations you hear about all the time and there are plenty more.

What is your reputation. What do your peers say about you or what do you say

about your peers?

      Reputaion is a very important  thing .  Benjamin Franklin said “It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation and only one only one bad one to ruin it”. Sure you can ruin a BAD reputation but can you change a bad reputation to a GOOD one?   George Washington said  “associate with men of good quality,if you esteem your own   reputation; for it is better to be alone than to be in bad company.”

    Many years ago Saul was a persecutor of Christians. He roamed the land sending Christians to Jerusalem to be placed in prison for their Christian values. Saul had a reputation of being Vain and Mean. Christians feared him. But one day Saul was on his way to Damascus to arrest some Christians, when God appeared as a great light and asked Saul why he was persecuting him. Saul was blinded and told to go to Damascus to be told what to do. In Damascus, Ananias told Saul ”Brother Receive your sight” and immediately he did. Sauls REPUATION was changed at that moment as he followed Christ and became one of the most devout Christians who ever lived.

   Be concerned about your reputation friends. For it maybe the one thing that will either helps or hinders you in your Christian walk. We certainly do not want a REPUTATION of being a Hypocrite.
