Integrity

To lead with integrity means to place the highest value on issues of character and the heart, not on outward conformity and performance. (Scott Morton, fundraising coach)

Our society tends to honor achievement and accomplishment in sports, music, or entertainment, no matter the morality or the ethical behavior of the performer. Often, an achiever of integrity is less highly regarded—or even overlooked—because his quiet, humble, unassuming behavior is so different. What a shame that our standards are so askew!

He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity (Proverbs 2:7).
