“Man's birth is a lottery; it may be in the pleasant home of ease and affluence, or in the hut of poverty; in either case it may be a stain or an honor. If he is born in poverty, and his future life throws a lustre over an humble birth, the reward will not only be great, but his name will stand higher on the roll of honor and virtue, than he who can only boast of his proud descent.” IfsMenMayHomeNamesBornPovertyCasesVirtueProudBirthHigherHonorRewardsHumbleEasePleasantBoastStainsLotteryDescentAffluenceHutsFuture Life Author:James Ellis

“The world is full of men who want to be right, when actually the secret of a man's strength and his pathway to true honor is his ability to admit fault when he has failed. God wants to fill the church with men who can say they are wrong when THEY ARE WRONG. A man who is willing to humble himself before God and his family and say: "I was wrong." will find that his family has all the confidence in the world in him and will much more readily follow him. If he stubbornly refuses to repent or admit he was wrong, their confidence in him and in his leadership erodes.” IfsMenWorldWantLeadershipChurchAbilitySecretWillingHonorFaultsRefuseHumbleRepentPathwaysErode Author:Jim Anderson
