2)One can’t bring themselves to Trust God (Lack of Faith)  (Mal. 3:10)

3)The person doesn’t fear God  (Eccl. 8:12)

4)Haven’t been taught (Ignorance)  (Prov. 3:9)

5)Money is their god (Luke 16:13)

excerpt by William Hershey Davis

• Reputation is what you are supposed to be; Character is what you are.
• Reputation is what you have when you come to a new community; Character is what you have when you go away.
• Reputation is made in a moment; Character is built in a lifetime.
• Reputation grows like a mushroom; Character grows like an oak.
• Your reputation is learned in an hour; Your character does not come to light for a year.
• A single newspaper report gives your reputation; a life of toil gives you your character.
• Reputation makes you rich or makes you poor; Character makes you happy or makes you miserable. 
• Reputation is what men say about you on your tombstone; Character is what angels say about you before the throne of God.
• Your reputation is what men think you are. Your character is what God knows you to be.
