Hi, I’m Howie Campbell, and this is a Wisdom and Truth Minute.
As a young believer in Jesus Christ, one of the first scriptures that spoke to me was Proverbs 22:1. “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches; and loving favor, rather than silver and gold.” What does it mean to have a good name? Does it involve being wealthy and prosperous? Famous? Powerful? Actually, having a good name comes from being a person of integrity – one who upholds the truth and does good to others. All of these qualities are found in Jesus Christ. That’s why the writer of Psalm 45:17 said, “I will make your name to be remembered in all generations; therefore, shall the people praise you forever and ever.”

Did you ever watch two babies playing with one toy? Almost always, they will at some point fight over it. “Mine!” says one; “No, mine!” says the other. Who taught them that?
Proverbs 22:15 tells us, “Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.” The child must be taught a better way right from the start. Loving discipline is the key to a happy family and a well-functioning society.
