Forgotten Virtues - Week 3
Guided by Integrity
Proverbs 11:3 NIV84
The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
Integrated Heart, Words, and Actions
Psalm 15:1-5 NIV84
Lord, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill? He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellowman, who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the Lord, who keeps his oath even when it hurts, who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.
Benefits of Integrity
1) You can walk closely with GOD. 2) You have a built in GUIDE. 3) You have constant PEACE in your heart. 4) You gain trust, respect, honor, and INFLUENCE.
Dirty Dishes
Matthew 23:25-26, Matthew 23:28 NIV84
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self‑indulgence. Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

Never Let Go

I will never admit you are in the right; till I die, I will not deny my integrity. I will maintain my righteousness and never let go of it; my conscience will not reproach me as long as I live.
