By developing intentional integrity
and intentional influence
we can have incredible impact.
- Delight in what is right
- Righteousness and goodness have a source–God
- Psalm 34, “taste and see that the LORD is good”
- To delight in God, spend time with God
- In prayer
- In His word
- In meditation on His word
- Drinking more deeply from God’s word should make you more balanced, not more extreme
- Do what is right
- Be dedicated to be in private what I claim to be in public
- “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching” – John Wooden
- Be careful what we put in front of our eyes
- What we put in front of our eyes will make its way to our heart
- What lodges in our heart will become part of our character
- Proverbs 4:23-27
- Philippians 4:8
- Job 31:1
- Choose ahead of time what you will do
- Not in the moment
- What places will I go?
- What media will I consume?
- Not in the moment
- Be dedicated to be in private what I claim to be in public
- Defend what is right
- While we do not have the same civic role that David had, we have a measure of civic responsibility delegated to us
- We ought to vote for and support for those public officials who will support honesty and truth and goodness
- We ought to denounce evil–but we must also offer the truth and goodness of God’s word
- This includes denouncing wicked acts by officials we largely support
- How will people know God’s mercy if they don’t know His justice?
- We ought to denounce evil–but we must also offer the truth and goodness of God’s word
- Divide when necessary
