Integrity

Me: Having fun playing!

Prodigal: Yes, we all need that time.

This is from Warren Wiersbe The Integrity Crisis:

Jesus made it clear that integrity involves the whole of the inner person: the heart, the mind, and the will. The person with integrity has a single heart. He doesn’t try to love God and the world at the same time….The person with integrity also has a single mind, a single outlook (“eye) that keeps life going in the right direction. After all, outlook helps to determine outcome; “a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways: (James 1:8)….

Jesus also said that the person with integrity has a single will; he seeks to serve but one master. Peter T. Forsythe was right when he said, “The first duty of every soul is to find not its freedom but its Master.” Once you find your Master, Jesus Christ, you will find your freedom; “therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:36). Nobody can successfully serve two masters. To attempt to do so is to become a fractional person, and a fractional person doesn’t have integrity. He is someone with a divided mind, and a divided will.

Proverbs 5:18

Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice with the wife of your youth.
