Cultivating Christian CharacterSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the principles of living a principled life as a Christian. He explains that there are two sets of desires that conflict with each other, one for eternal rewards and one for temporal rewards. Gregg emphasizes the importance of justice and mercy, surrendering one's rights for the benefit of others, and the notion of low self-worth in relation to God. He highlights the value of being honest and faithful in all dealings and living a life of integrity.
