Integrity within

Good morning all! May this day be a great day to remember JESUS CHRIST, our LORD and SAVIOR. GOD is good all the time, all the time GOD is good.

We need to be accurate and honest in all our dealing as Christians. Never put ourselves in a place of question. 2 Corinthians 8:20-21 "We are traveling together to guard against any criticism for the way we are handling this generous gift. We are careful to be honorable before the LORD, but we also want everyone else to see that we are honorable."

Now why this scripture. The Corinthians church was financial well off and they offered to help the church in Jerusalem. Paul used safeguards to maintain integrity in the collection of the money. Paul and Titus and another brother were elected by the churches to take the large financial gift to Jerusalem. Paul explained that by traveling together there could be no suspicion and people would know that the gift was being handled honestly. The church did not need to worry that the bearers of the collection would misuse the money.

How are you doing with all that God has placed in your care? Are you misusing your money? Is your leadership as a member of the body of Christ done with integrity? Are you a wonderful, bathed in the living water, clean hearted Christian on Sunday morning? Do you carry these traits through out the week and when others speak of you will integrity and strong character jump out as a Christian? Do the right thing. Do the God thing. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
