THOUGHTS ON INTEGRITY
  • The heroes of stories and movies do the right
    thing, even if the actors playing them dont.
  • Nobody admires the compromiser, the lazy, the
    sleazy, the whiny, or the dishonest.
  • In business, in relationships, in spiritual
    growth, were (deep down) attracted to people who
    do the right thing and repulsed people who dont.

8
WHEN ITS HARD TO DO THE RIGHT THING
  • When you just dont feel like it
  • When youre tired
  • When doing the right thing is embarrassing
  • When doing the right thing causes you to lose
    something

9
PEOPLE WHO DIDNT END WELL
  • Saul
  • Samson
  • Moses
  • King David
  • Solomon

10
WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
  • If you approach a growth point without moral
    excellence, youll only grow toward loss and
    misery.
  • If you set integrity in place at the beginning of
    your growth point, it will make all the other
    decisions easier from that point on.

GOODNESS
  • Former Senator Alan Simpson said "If you have
    integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't
    have integrity, nothing else matters."
  • Reader's Digest, March 2001, p. 61

WHAT THEN SHALL WE DO?
  • What are some current, personal, real-life issues
    where its hard to do the right thing?
  • What keeps you on track?
  • How do faith and integrity fit together?
