Examine, Evaluate, and Adjust if Necessary

Similarly, encourage the young men to be self-controlled. In everything set them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us. (‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭6-8‬ NIV)

I realize gender is used in this passage of scripture, but it a great passage of scripture for every believer. 

We should be an example, especially in our current world, political environment, and the lack of moral conscience surrounding us. 

We should be showing integrity in all of these areas. If we don’t point them to Jesus with our life actions then our words will not matter. 

What can your enemy say about you that is valid?  What can the world say about you that is valid. Live your life in such a way that they are embarrassed because everything they would accuse you of is a lie!

Why We Do It

And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.

Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people. Remember that the Lord will give you an inheritance as your reward, and that the Master you are serving is Christ. (‭Colossians‬ ‭3‬:‭17, 23-24‬ NLT)

I am reminded, and wanted to remind you why we do everything that we do. If we are faithful in this our reward awaits us!

Integrity Should Not Be Adjusted for Circumstances

4So the governors and satraps sought to find somecharge against Daniel concerning the kingdom; but they could find no charge or fault, because he was faithful; nor was there any error or fault found in him. 5Then these men said, “We shall not find any charge against this Daniel unless we find itagainst him concerning the law of his God.”

10Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went home. And in his upper room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt down on his knees three times that day, and prayed and gave thanks before his God, as was his custom since early days.

11Then these men assembled and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. (Daniel 6: 4-5, 10-11 NKJV)

Integrity is something that is not adjusted by circumstances!
