CHRISTIAN CHARACTER QUALITIES |
(by Bill Stevenson) |
|
Note: I developed this list after I indexed a three volume anthology using A.C.E.'s 60 character traits and studying Bill Gothard's list of 36 character traits. It can be used for self assessment (rank yourself from 1 to 10, the higher the number-- 10 meaning a"all of the time" and 0 meaning "never"), an aid for a good marriage, and as a Bible study “springboard” (for finding Bible verses and examples for each trait). |
