Playing on Team Integrity

If being a team player requires doing what is wrong, you’re on the wrong team. – Chuck Swindoll

Rehoboam and his young advisors conspired against God’s people. Ananias and Sapphira his wife conspired against the Lord and his church. They all lost big time! Hmmm.

We live in a world that says things like ‘winning is everything,’ or ‘win at all costs,’ or ‘just win baby.’ That is the motto for survival of the fittest. It doesn’t matter what it takes to get the win, land the account, get the signature, make the sale, or even get rid of the ‘loser.’ Integrity is passé. Honor is outdated, “just do it.” But God calls us to a higher standard, away from the ways of the world. His ways require us to be truthful in all accounts, go the extra mile when necessary, and show care and concern when no one else will for we are His ambassadors. Rest assured there will be exams today and hereafter in your life.

Until tomorrow…

Life Preaching

Words fitly spoken are powerful, but they are nothing compared to a life fitly lived. – Chuck Swindoll

Near the end of his life, Samuel, the priest of God called the people together to ‘present’ his life. They had nothing bad to say. Hmm!

It is true that God commissioned us to “GO” and spread the good news far and wide. And it is true that we are told to “study to show ourselves approved” in the word to anyone who asks us. But it is important for us to remember that we preach with our lives - in the way we live with, and around others - more loudly and clearly than anything we can say verbally. God will be providing topics and circumstances today that He hopes we clearly preach to others.

Until tomorrow…...
