“Faithful men have always been a blessing, not only to the church through the centuries, but to their families, friends, employers, and those that admire that faithfulness from a distance. The quality of faithfulness involves more than just the consistent attendance at regular events for church and family. Faithfulness has its root meaning in the Greek word for faith. The obvious implication of this faith clearly reveals itself in loyalty, diligence, spiritual insight, personal motivation and love, and the great qualities of meekness and wisdom. I have set about to examine my life, to see if it follows this powerful pattern for living. I realize that we must evaluate our lives regularly and determine the changes which will lead to faithful living. Let us strive in this task with all diligence, being perceptive to the needs of those who follow after us. Let us also set the example for our children, grandchildren, and other men.” DEM
