A Higher Standard of Honesty

There are no degrees of integrity. Either we are honest or we are not. – Sparks
Eli the priest and his sons. They paid dearly for their cheating ways. God won out! Hmm!
We live in a fallen world and it’s easy to fall in to it’s ways. Everyone is out for themselves, but God has called us to a higher standard – honesty in all things. We don’t act with honesty or integrity to get noticed, or to score points, or even to appease our conscience. We do it because it is right. True, it is sometimes inconvenient, but that does not change the fact that it is the right thing to do. If we would expect people to treat us with honesty and integrity, we must be willing to give the same at all times. And inasmuch as we are always before the eyes of our Heavenly Father, honesty should always be our way of life.
Until Monday……

“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much.” – Luke 16:10
P.S. - Hope you can make it this Sunday at 9am for our Devotional time. We'd love to see you there!
Also, there WILL NOT be Vesper Services as we will be setting up for VBS.
