The
Weighing of Integrity in Todays Culture
“Let me weigh in an
even balance, that God may know my integrity.” Job 31:6
“In thy face I see the
map of honor; truth and loyalty.-Shakespeare
We live day where see people of all walks of life, including
minsters and politicians, whom seem to express hate, cowardice, lack of integrity and
bitterness towards so many people of different races and the rules of laws and
in relationships to our society.
I am
reminded of God’s Word in Job how we are to live victoriously through integrity
in a difficult culture. Job chapter 31
1.
Job wants most of all to have a life committed
to integrity. Job 31:1-16 1 John 2:17
a.
Controlling
his flesh’
b.
Controlling his eyes
c.
Controlling his pride
2.
Job
wanted his life of integrity to show the world how he ministers to the social
needs of people. Verse 16-24
3.
Job wanted life integrity by demonstrating his
love for God and not material things. Verse 24-29
4.
Job wanted his integrity shown by how he
respect and work honestly with people verses 30-33
5.
Job wanted his integrity to be seen that he
was not afraid to speaking out on Biblical convictions, or what people are
saying about him and his convictions which deals with moral issues. verse 34-40
Dear
friends, today more than ever, we need courageous men and women to
demonstrating their integrity publically by godly living, ministering to the
social needs of people and to also verbally make Biblical stands for morality! To
preach the verbal inspired, inerrant Word of God! -2 Timothy chapters 4.
“It is not what you
say that counts,
Nor merely what you do;
Your words may all seem
genuine,
Your works is not a few;
Yet, after all, God
looks within,
And sees the inner “you “
Your creed may be all true;
Yet God looks past all
these to see’
If you, yourself, are true’”
_ R. E Neighbor
I
believe we need to preach truth and live a life of integrity and show by
demonstration that there is forgiveness at the cross.
I believe that through Jesus, through His shed
blood on the cross for our sins and by coming to Him it can bring healing to this
bitter divide Nation. Let’s all people of all races come to Jesus today!!
Love,
Eddie
