08/26/25 SUCCESSFULL AND UNSUCCESSFULL TRAITS

08/2/25 SUCCESSFULL AND UNSUCCESSFULL TRAITS

I saw an interesting poster, which listed behavioral traits of Successful people and Unsuccessful people. Though an actual list is much longer, I give you my version of a short list. Some folks would do well if they would at least take a quick glance at this list. I hope it will be encouraging. Some of these positive traits are admirable qualities found in many people, but they reach their zenith when they are manifested in a Christian life. The negative traits related to varying degrees of spiritual emptiness. A Christian will realize the areas of his life that need changing and will eagerly seek deliverance from the negative and application of the positive. It requires both a deliverance from God and a commitment to personal faithfulness to God's word.

Here is a partial list of traits to consider.
