INTEGRITY: “the quality or state of being of sound moral principle; uprightness, honesty, and sincerity”
Integrity is doing what you say you will do...keeping commitments and appointments. Integrity puts the shopping cart back in the corral. Integrity says "I'll be there"...and is! Integrity overcomes evil with good. Integrity behaves the same way when they're on vacation as when they are home.
Integrity does the righteous thing even when no one is looking.
Imagine your world if everyone--including yourself--walked in INTEGRITY.
What if all of God's people--citizens of His Kingdom--walked in integrity? Do you think we could change the world? I think we could make a difference for sure.
Luke 16:10 “He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much.
Proverbs 19:1 Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than a rich man who is perverse in his speech and is a [self-confident] fool.
“According to Scripture, virtually everything that truly qualifies a person for leadership is directly related to character. It’s not about style, status, personal charisma, clout, or worldly measurements of success. Integrity is the main issue that makes the difference between a good leader and a bad one.” ~ John MacArthur
“Few things are more infectious than a godly lifestyle. The people you rub shoulders with everyday need that kind of challenge. Not prudish. Not preachy. Just cracker jack clean living. Just honest to goodness, bone--deep, non-hypocritical integrity.” ~ Chuck Swindoll
I believe Job has earned right to the last words on this subject:
Job 27:4-6
Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit. Far be it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me. My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
