Is Good Reputation Important?

23 June

I was reading 1 Timothy 3 and verse 7 stood out for me .. that we are to have a good reputation with outsiders, so that we will not fall into disgrace and into the devil’s trap. Many a time, we think it is not important to have a good reputation outside the Body of Christ, and think we can get away with our bad attitudes, actions and responses but this is a good reminder for us – to be a good testimony whether you are in or out of the community so that we do not bring the name of Christ to shame or even disgrace ourselves, especially if we have been placed as an overseer.
