Integrity First

I have been thinking a lot about this topic recently, given the current climate of our culture and the fact that it appears to be missing in almost all aspects of life.

Im talking about INTEGRITY.

It seems like most of us recognize real integrity when we see it, in fact I would venture to say all of us really appreciate and value integrity no matter how big or small. Think about this; when a store is willing to honor its products and stand by its guarantee, most of us are probably shocked.

However, we arent the least bit surprised when its the other way around. So what has happened?

Proverbs 28:6 says "Better is a poor man who walks in his integrity than he who is crooked though he be rich." I have this lurking suspicion that our culture has traded integrity for riches, or fanciful ideas about what will better our personal status or agenda, all the while relinquishing integrity at the highest cost!

Are you seeing this in your areas of operation? Lets choose INTEGRITY at any cost, even when its painful for us or of no initial benefit to us.
