REPUTATION

(Message by Tanny Keng)

1. Bible Topic

a) To learn what the Bible has to say on a variety of topics affecting our everyday lives, we may find what we are looking for here.

2. Reputation

a) Good reputation is more valuable than wealth. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 22:1, NIV. ""A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."

b) Betraying confidences can give you a bad reputation. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 25:9-10, NIV. "If you argue your case with a neighbor, do not betray another man's confidence, or he who hears it may shame you and you will never lose your bad reputation."

c) What qualities guarantee a good reputation? It's in the Bible, Proverbs 22:4, NIV, "Humility and the fear of the Lord bring wealth and honor and life."

d) Kindness brings respect. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 11:16, NIV. "A kindhearted woman gains respect, but ruthless men gain only wealth."

e) It is valuable to have a reputation for skilled work. It's in the Bible, Proverbs 22:29, NIV. "Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men."

The End ...
