The Need for Integrity

Preacher:
Passage: Proverbs 11:3
Service Type:

Integrity is often viewed as outdated and no longer applicable in our fast-paced world; however, the need for integrity is perhaps as great as it has ever been. The word integrity occurs about 25 times in the Bible. Some translations use it as few as 16 times. Other translations use it as many as 27 times. It is one of the most important words in scripture. Character is a matter of doing right, over and over, until it becomes a part of your life: make the bed, clean the room, get dressed, read Bible, brush your teeth, do chores, and so on. Integrity is more than character. It is something that comes from the heart. It is character that is resolute; it is something that cannot be changed or polluted. Throughout the Bible, there are three men identified as men of integrity: Abimelech (Genesis 20:5-6), Job (Job 2:3), and David (1 Kings 9:4). People of integrity live close to the heart of God and reflect character consistent with godly lives.
