- Jesus wants us to stick to the truth.
- Promises are meant to be kept.
- A lie is a lie, there is no such thing as a white lie.
- 3 dimensions of integrity.
(i) to God.
(ii) to other people.
- Practice what you believe. If others cannot trust you, what you say about God cannot be trusted as well.
- A stumbling stone to unbelievers.
(iii) to ourselves. - Integrity Authenticity:
- Our walk matches with our talk.
- Makes unbelievers believe. - Good intention to share the gospel must match our integrity.
- Integrity challenged:
- Temptation: Do we get more alert? - We lose our integrity when we give into temptation not when we are tempted.
- In Bible, Joseph ran away when temptation came charging.
- We cannot overcome the temptations by resisting only by running away AS FAST AS YOU CAN! - Never make a promise that you cannot keep.
- Without integrity, you can shout the great commission, but no one hears.
- With integrity, a whisper can melt the harden soul for Jesus.
That's all about the sermon.. What is going on next week? Come find out yourself.. See ya!! =p
