Character

The Rev. John Gunn (other)

The most fundamental thing in your life is your character. The Rev. John R. Gunn writes, "I would rather have a good name than a good bank account, for if I should lose my good name it would greatly cripple my influence and usefulness. The good I may be able to do people depends to a great extent upon my standing in their sight."
