Title: Building Character


Do not be misled: “Bad Company corrupts good character.” – 1 Corinthians 15:33

As I think of my character, I see it as who I am in my relationship with God and how others see me. “Hopefully not as what a character he is.”


We build character and learn as we follow Christ. Christian character is not just about our personality.  It tells who we are as Christians. It’s seeking to understand God’s plan for us that develops and molds our character.

I don’t believe everyone builds good character at the same time in their life or in the same way, but it must be done by learning to follow Jesus and his teachings.


Real Men build great character.
