Integrity Is the Standard God Holds Us To
"Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out." Proverbs 10:9
In today's world of corrupt politicians and sports, it seems that anything done for an advantage is fair game—as long as you don't get caught.
As Christians, however, we are held to a higher standard. Our goal should be to live a life that's pleasing to God and that allows us to have influence on those around us. People seem to gravitate toward those who do things the right way. And on the other hand, if you're not living with integrity, your influence will quickly be torn down. If you're not trusted, then your relationships will have little eternal significance.
Living with integrity in this day and age isn't easy. You might say it's harder than ever before. But with God's Word and the Holy Spirit guiding your steps, it is possible to be the person of integrity that He created you to be.
Be Nice. Grace Wins.

More Than Enough
Jesus doesn't need the sharpest tool in the shed. Two fish and five loaves, a shepherd's stick, whatever you've got, is more than enough. The Lord specializes in turning failures into successes.

In the Majority
If God is for us, who can be against us? A jealous God asks for our faithfulness in return, and gives us a friend who sticks closer than a brother. If God is on our side, we're in the majority.
