15heart. The rest of that verse says, \Corinthians 4:18)In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul talks about all things eventually fading or passing away, but in verse 13 he states \You know those are the things that are going to remain when everything else fades away. They should be represented in my value system somewhere. Would you agree with that? If I want values that last, then faith, hope, and love are the only things that are going to remain. I sure want those. By the way, the verse concludes by saying, the greatest of these is LOVE.\ only thing that counts is faith expressing itself in love.\out your values will you see if those values reflect those clear teachings we're studying? Lasting success is built on values that last; Faith, hope, love, God's Word and Jesus Christ. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That's why Jesus said in Matthew 16:26, \ would it profit a man if he were to gain the whole world, yet he were to lose his own soul.\\ me to live is Christ, and to die is.\Paul%u2019s value was Christ and the outcome is eternity, it's the future of heaven.

It's the only oneyou can fit in that makes it work. \successful, significant powerful living is to embrace right values; consciousness, to analyze them regularly and to never ever let them go.This week, go down in the control room of your life and look around. Will you honestly be able to say, \this week.Is Christat the head of the list? Is he the real captain of your ship? Now a lot say yes, but many of us don't live that way. That's the incongruent value thing. But is He your Lord as well as your Savior? Success is only possible with Christ because He is the only real value in life. Lesson # January 19, 1997Chapter 3
