The good leader makes an impression: Great leaders make friends!
The way to gain a good reputation is to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
Be so good, people can't ignore you. Be so kind, people will remember you. Be so grateful, people will help you.
You can never make a good deal with bad people!
Sometimes GOOD people make BAD choices. It doesn't mean they're bad.... It means they are human!
What is grace? It's what someone gives out of the goodness of his heart, not out of the perfection of yours.
A person of integrity (a) Instead of talking, prays about it; (b) Instead of criticising, looks for something good; (c) Instead of showing anger, shows grace.
I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.
Do you really want it to be done according to how you pray? Think about it. To some that would not be good news.
The"CROSS is offensive" because it offends our pride. We want to think we're good enough to enter heaven without it.
