7 ways modern men are failing

4. We care more about “getting credit” than having character.

In our success-obsessed culture, we have lost sight of the value of true integrity. Character is measured by what we do when nobody is watching, but we don’t value anything if nobody is watching. We think we can have a closet full of dirty secrets as long as we protect our reputations. We’ve taken on a shallow and selfish mindset deserving of the condemnation Jesus gave the Pharisees of his day when he said they were “White-washed tombs that looked good on the outside but were filled with dead men’s bones.” We need to start valuing integrity over income, character over charisma and reality over reputation.
