Character is not what a person will be in the future. Character is what a person is at this present time. Pressure reveals the way a person really is.
Character is not how a person acts. Character is also how a person thinks, their motives and attitudes. To change one's character one must go deeper than actions.
Character does not appear without pressure. A person's true character surfaces when the heat is on.
Character is not just what people can see. Character is what other people do not see. Works are not always the sign of a good character. Man looks at the outward appearance but God looks at the heart.
Character is not limited to having wisdom to comment on the behavior of others. Intellectually knowing how to act, think and feel consistently with Bible principles may be a far cry from actually living in harmony with those principles.
Character is not limited to relationships between Christians. How a person interacts with unbelievers also demonstrates their true character.
Character is not limited to a person's relationship with their spiritual family. It also shows in how he treats his natural family.
I read this on James Macphersons blog. I thought this is soo cool, character lasts, character shows through in the toughest of times, Character defines if you will be the hero in a story or a villain.
I've started reading Soul Cravings by Erwin McMannus, it is VERY good. It is a collection of short two-three page "entries" that can be read as daily readings. I'm enjoying it, what I have read soo far is exploring the concept of Love.
