~1 King 9:4
Most of the people call
themselves “Christian” but they don’t know what a “Christian” is.
But our Christianity defines
how we act as individual. How we eat, how we sleep, how we speak, how we talk,
how we manage our time and our efforts as a Christian being.
-
Is the honesty of
what we stand.
-
Is the quality of
being fair of what we believe.
Full
definition
1.
Firm action to a
code of moral or artistic values (incorruptibility)
2.
An unimpaired
condition (soundness)
3.
The quality or
state of being complete or undivided (completeness)
Examples
1.
Demonstrated that
he was a man of integrity by taking full responsibility for his actions.
2.
It is telling the
truth even when people least want to hear.
3.
Doing his job
without his/her master
4.
Joseph’s Life
5.
Daniel
6.
Shadrach, Massac
and Abednego
“Christian”
A real disciple of Christ; one who believes
in the truth of the Christian religion, and studies to follow the example, and
obey the precepts, of Christ; a believer in Christ who is characterized by real
attitude of Christ.
Diversion
of Christian Action – “Practical world”
Nowadays Christians living in this practical world
adopt its changes. Leaving most of the
doctrine and change it to fit their own life-style.
- Priority has become Option
- Truth has been sacrificed for expedience
- Character has become personality
- Anointing is now Charisma
- Repentance has now become forgiveness
- Sacrifice is now prosperity
- Prayer has become Praise
- Obedience has become Pragmatism
- Modesty replaced with Glamour
- Separation replaced with worldliness
- Doctrine has become Philosophy
- Obligation has become voluntary
- Love has become Sentimentalism
- Worship has become Entertainment
Why is this happening??
1.
Committing two evil – Jer.2:13
2.
Unbelief – Heb. 13:12
3.
Turning back from Christ – Gal. 1:6
We must show our integrity as a
Christian by.
1. Keeping the word of Christ in our hearts –
Ps. 119:11
2.
In words or deed – Col. 3:17
3.
Trust in the Lord – Prov. 3:5-6
Life without integrity is just like a man without a home. Our integrity defines our own personality, our characteristic and even our behavior as a Christian. As we live lets stand tall with our faiths, as David walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, who followed all that the Lord commanded, and who kept the statutes and judgments of the Lord, God will also establish the thrones of our lives and he will not fail us. :)
