Integrity
Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that our country shall be righteous as well as strong (James Bryce, British historian)
It’s Flag Day in the U. S, and it’s good to be reminded that honoring the flag is more than just waving it in parades or hanging it on your front porch. It’s a matter of integrity, too. It’s living in such a way that honors the principles the flag represents: loyalty, purity, and unity. They are qualities we should all strive to demonstrate in our interactions with our community.
For only the godly will live in the land, and those with integrity will remain in it (Proverbs 2:21).
