Every week it seems like we hear about some wellknown figure’s moral carelessness coming to light. An athlete’s early morning brawl at an exclusive club. A politician’s scheme to enrich himself. A pastor’s affair with a church member. A media personality twisting the truth to further their storyline. A businessman’s complex effort to steal from his company and its investors.These types of unfortunate news stories we read about can be summed up with one word: character. Because people are not living lives of honorable character, they are winding up on the local news or in the local jail. Character matters.
