2nd Character Trait: Loyalty: Character in community
read pages 27-32 Character Matters by Dr. Mark Rutland
Discuss Sam Houston's stand for National loyalty and his statement:"The destruction of the Union would be the destruction of all the states."
Elbert Hubbard: An ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.
When loyalty is lost, the very fabric of relationship unravels.
What do you think? "The prevailing wisdom of contemporary society contends that marital loyalty is irrelevant to job performance."
A man is not simply disloyal to his wife; he is DISLOYAL. So, a wise employer may rightly expect disloyalty on the job.
Discuss scenerio of the job applicant and CEO.p.30
Do you agree or disagree with this statement:
"Efforts to isolate or compartmentalize loyalty from the professional aspect of life are misguided and dangerous. A man does not simply act disloyally in some particular arena of his life, unrelated to the rest. A man is either loyal or he is not."
read p. 31 politician scandal story...discuss.
Do you deflect praise, admiration and success onto others instead of receiving for yourself? This indicates the character trait of Loyalty. It may come at great personal expense, but it will edify and bless its object.
Loyalty never usurps authority. It refuses to accept inappropriate love or praise that might properly exalt another. Loyalty is the glue that holds relationships together, makes families functional and armies victorious.
Learning more of Christ together,
Becky
