Integrity
Our commitment to integrity can easily be eroded by our love of progress. (Jonathan Herron, minister)
If patience is a virtue, then impatience must be a vice. We may profess to hold very high standards and to live ethically, but when a little deviation from the “straight and narrow” promises to help us reach a goal more quickly, we may be strongly tempted to give in. “Just this once,” we think, which usually leads to more missteps in the future.
I know, my God, that you test the heart and are pleased with integrity (1 Chronicles 29:17).
