To begin, nobody is perfect and as I type this, I want to tell you I'll humbly admit responsibility for my mistakes and mess ups. I love my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and do my hardest to follow Christ right down the line. Integrity is an extremely important aspect of the Christian life. You want to reach out to the dying world, have them know who you are and live by it. Sounds easy, right? No, it's not, but by looking forward to Christ and maintaining your focal point on him is a great guideline.

Integrity must be a part of your life if you ever hope to be a great leader...inside and outside of the church. God's Word must be the ruler we live in life. When we start deviating from the Bible, is when we start losing our integrity and thus, our standing among the lost. Folks, this is why it's imperative that we read our Bibles and not just read it, but live it. Too many people say things like "I've read the Bible cover to cover (x) amount of times", yet their lives don't bear it out. Do you read just because that's what the guidelines of a book has you to read, or do you read, pause and reflect, take notes, and see where it can be used in your life. Pray for guidance for this. God certainly wants you to understand and apply His words to your life.

God bless!
