The Power of A Good Name

The bible says that a good name is rather chosen than silver or gold(Prov 22:1) Our name represents what we have become to be known by. Its produced by our thoughts, imaginations, words, & ideas. Our character is cultivated in and through it. When we fail to be true to who we really are, we'll find ourselves in a state of double-mindedness. In the midst of this state there is nonething but confusion & chaos. We hurt the very ones that allowed themselves to share the very deep parts of their hearts. I have expierenced this in a very real way. We as Christians are called to be followers of him as dear children. However if there is not a continuous renewing of the mind and restoring of the soul are actions will recipricate the behaviors of an unredeemed condition. This results in the loss of respect in us thus causing our salt to loose its savor being good for nonething but to be trodden under foot. Every thread & shred of influence & impact gives way to reproach & regret. There are two pains in life. There is the pain of discipline and the pain of regret. The pain of discipline weighs only ounces compared to the tons of regret. The book of James gives us a great check ourselves before we wreck ourselves kindof admonition. Cleanse ye hearts ye men of double minds. If were double minded about promises, commitments, things we've spoken, we'll be like the wave of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. There is no way that we can recieve anything from God or man. God is not calling us to be talkers but walkers, actions speak much louder than words. Faith without corresponding action is dead(Jms 2:20) Remember when Jesus washed the feet of his disciples? Why not hair, back, legs, armpits? The most important area in the sight of family and friends is our walk. Were told in Ephesians six having our FEET shod with the preperation of the gospel of peace. Its our walk that gives life to our words! Love is not something we say, it is something that we DO! Christianity is an action faith. Iam finding this out in this present time more than any other in my existence upon the Earth.
