180 Vision Series: How Integrity Keeps Your People In and The Enemy Out.

Integrity is a lost value in today’s age of corruption. Our trust in authority and institutions are at an all-time low, with a growing suspicion of what truth really is. This doesn’t only occur in politics but in our daily lives. The Gospel is crucial, even refreshing, in a time where the standards of truth appear distorted. The Word tells us to own, confess, and turn from our sins and mistakes as this is repentance. King David in Psalm 51 exemplifies this process of repentance integral to our integrity as followers of Christ. The truth that comes from God does not change even if the truth spoken by the spirit of each age does. How do we live a life of integrity: a complete and honest life? James 5 tells us to confess our sins and to pray for each other, and to acknowledge the lows—our valleys—but to also celebrate and embrace the highs—our hills—as one community.
