In spite of the fact that society is so severely lacking in integrity, it is something people want and admire—just not bad enough to do what it takes to ‘have some integrity’ of their own. So don’t be afraid to be a trend-setter and spread a little integrity everywhere you go. 

Besides, being a man of integrity…

⦁ Provides you with a sense of security: Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but he who makes his ways crooked will be found out. ~Proverbs 10:9

⦁ Will allow you to make wise decisions with confidence: The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them. ~Proverbs 11:3

⦁ Puts you in a position to receive God’s blessings: Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight. ~Proverbs 12:22

Titus 2:2 says: Older men are to be sober-minded, dignified, self-controlled,  sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness. 

To be in a position of leadership is a huge responsibility. As a leader you are responsible for the actions and attitudes of others. That’s why it is so important to make sure you are properly equipped to take on the role of leader. And that’s where Titus 2:2 comes in. 

When you are a man of faith you are satisfied with just knowing God is present and that He always does what He says He will do. And that means…

You don’t face each situation with that ‘fix it’ kind of attitude. Instead, you remember to: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

You don’t expect God to always do things your way. Instead, you remember that: In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps. ~Proverbs 16:9

Hello Brothers and Sisters,

Grace and Peace to YOU from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

God is faithful, by whom YOU were called into fellowship of his son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all YOU do: because it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

He has saved us and called us to a holy life, not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace. This Grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time.

This is why you were called, because Christ suffered for YOU, leaving YOU an example, that YOU should follow in His steps.

He called YOU to this through our Gospel, that YOU might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Brothers and Sisters, Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this YOU were called so that YOU may inherit a blessing.

Therefore, my Sister, make every effort to confirm YOUR calling and election. If YOU do these things, YOU will never stumble, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our LORD and Savior Jesus Christ.

I will always give thanks to our GOD for YOU because of the Grace given YOU in CHRIST JESUS.

Sincerely,

Richard Helmus
