You are known by your friends.It seems a little harsh but its true.
What people think of us matters.
God looks at the heart, man looks at everything else.
Our reputation is what goes before us, it is the fragrance of our presence in the mind of those who know us.
In dealing with people, our reputation is all we have.
Protect it.
I have 3 personal rules:
1. I will not be friends with people who complain about other people too much, I don't want to be known as a gossiper.
2. I will not be friends with people who are stingy, because I don't want to be known as a stingy person.
3. I will not be friends with people who complain about their boss too much, because I don't want to be known as an uncommitted person.

What a wonderful blog - so sweet coming across content like this! Where are you a youth pastor at? How i wish i was still young enough to fit into that category. I wasn't a Christian in my youth :(

Can you tell me about Jesus?
hey it's me bek.G, hello everyone at JCC i miss you all heaps and my church is just next door to yours and i still write, ryan...oh and your the best, Ryan! Say hi to everyone for me...Ta-Ta
dude! i appreciate your zeal, but I want to disagree with some bits like this:
"2. I will not be friends with people who are stingy, because I don't want to be known as a stingy person."
what about when Jesus met Zaccheus?
(in those days,it seems tax collectors were definitely seen as
stingy - or worse) I get where you're coming from, but surely God is big enough and powerful enough to stop the stinginess spreading from the stingy friend to how
you're seen by people!
well thats my take on it anyway,
hope u dont mind my two cents
worth :-) regards, Anonymous
