Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. And these all, having obtained a good report through faith. A good name, a good report, a good reputation is greater than riches. Good in the eyes of God. I read an interesting article the other day that said that most of the popular names that are given to babies yet today are Bible names.
Bible names are still the most popular names that American parents give to their children.
In the eyes of God it is inestimable. Every president carved in stone in Mt. Rushmore was placed there, not because of his power, his popularity or his prestige but because of his principle. It s better to be right then rich. It s better to be pure then popular. It s better to have honor then to be honored.
