The Cost of Success
Success rarely improves our character. (Sam Yeiter, preacher)
Nearly everyone wants to succeed, and some are willing to pay almost any price in money, time, or effort to climb the so-called ladder of success. Yeiter’s comment is a clear warning that compromise as you move up may cost you your good reputation or, at least, a clear conscience. Those may never be restored, and that’s a very high price to pay.
The Lord detests people with crooked hearts, but he delights in those with integrity. (Proverbs 11:20)
