Wisdom & Integrity



Wisdom is sometimes disguised, however integrity can be immediately discerned.

Integrity is aligning your words, actions, habits and belief.

Matthew 6: 24 tells us that we can't serve multiple beliefs. “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.

Truth or temporary silence are the only options for those with integrity. Altering the message or giving a different message are not actions consistent with integrity. That is political correctness. In other words - serving mammon. 

Silence is appropriate representation of integrity when the truth has been revealed and rejected or when the revelation of truth is imminent.

 
Notable examples are:
  1. Jesus before Pontius Pilate Matthew 27: 11 - 14
  2. Esther Before Approaching The King. Esther 4: 6 - 16

What Do You Think?

Following his acts of disobedience, Jonah showed integrity when he confessed his identity to the ship's captain knowing he would be thrown overboard. Jonah 1: 5 - 12. (Agree or Disagree?)

Integrity and political correctness are opposite forces. (Agree or Disagree?)
