More on character

There's always something to be gleaned from the Book of Proverbs, something new everytime we delve into it. Today its Proverbs 4, verses 23-27. Yesterday it was Proverbs 6, verses 17-19. Both deal with what the Lord doesn't like -- disunity, discord among our brethren -- and how to guard yourself against it.

Who are you? I mean who are you really? Not what do you do as in occupation or hobbies, not what you look like as in color of skin or size or shape.

The Lord knows who we are. He knows what's going on in our innermost being. He knows all. We should know who we are as well. We should know better than anyone else outside of God.

I decided to check out character / integrity on the internet and found lots of links relating to it. Some are:
