Take Work Seriously

If a man takes work really seriously - the concept of work in and of itself - it provides him with dignity and self-respect, meaning, and purpose in life. ~ Carl Carlson

No Compromise

“If you have self-respect, you will take satisfaction in being well groomed and will not allow yourself to perform shabbily. You will continue to work toward high standards and goals to serve others, to continue and to practice self-discipline. You will not compromise your standards or beliefs.” ~ Marvin J. Ashton

23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving. ~ Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)

Sanctification Removes Sin

"Sanctification removes nothing from our essential human nature but sin. We are not cleansed from self-consciousness, but self-centeredness, not from self-respect, but self rule." ~ Dr. Nelson Perdue
