- What does it mean to have integrity?
- Can you think of an example of a person who had/has integrity?
- What sorts of challenges make it hard to be a person of integrity?
“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
- Have you ever been accused of something bad, or having wrong motives, when you did not.
“The man of integrity walks securely, but he who takes crooked paths will be found out.”
-Proverbs 10:9 NIV
“But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. It is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.”
-1 Peter 3:15-17 NIV
- If you are going to have to suffer for something, better for it to be for doing the right thing.
(Prayer for us to grow in our integrity)
-Ezra
