    Most people think it’s rude to talk about other people’s giving but Jesus didn’t have any qualms about it.

    Everyone enjoys being recognized for the good they have accomplished even if they do the “No really, you don’t have to” thing.

     | 11,570 views

    This week we see integrity defined by Jesus in the form of several people ? and it gives us an idea of how we can have integrity when it comes to our dealings with God, with one another, and in our giving to the Lord.

    Today we’re going to talk about the concept of integrity. Most of us when we think of integrity we mostly think of someone who is true to their word - and that’s a part of it, but that’s more accurately honesty than integrity. To illustrate the principal of integrity I want you to come visit my ...read more
