what's in a name

A man is given three names: the name he inherits, the name his parents give him, and the name he makes for himself. A good name, like good will, it is attained by many actions and may be lost by a single action. Never has a man who lived a life of ease left a name worth remembering. Remember, the best inheritance parents can leave a child is a good name. What kind of name do you have in the church and in the community?

Solomon said, "A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold" (Pro. 22:1).
