RELEARN INTEGRITY
"Do what they tell you but do not do what they do" - how would I feel if someone said this of me! My deeds have to speak the words of faith, and my faith has to be demonstrated by congruent and consistent deeds. Orthodoxy and Orthopraxis are two things that cannot be separated one from the other. Humility, Mercy, Forgiveness, Compassion and True Love...if these do not describe my person, I am no Christian! The more I grow in these, the more I grow to be a Christian. Often we pose a question: but what do I gain from these apart from the problems and disadvantage that I get into? Not for any gain or not for any advantage, but not to lose the integrity of my person that I need to grow in these. Sans integrity, life as a Christian will be a farce! The integrity that Jesus had, gave him the authority to stand up and speak, be it in the sanhedrin or before the Roman Governor. If my Christian life has to have meaning, I need absolutely to relearn integrity.
