Integrity:
- the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness.
- the state of being whole and undivided.
- a concept of consistency of actions, values, methods, measures, principles, expectations, and outcomes. In ethics, integrity is regarded as the honesty and truthfulness or accuracy of one's actions. Integrity can be regarded as the opposite of hypocrisy, in that integrity regards internal consistency as a virtue, and suggests that parties holding apparently conflicting values should account for the discrepancy or alter their beliefs.
- human constructs of accountability and internal consistency
Questions I've recently had to ask myself concerning this blog that I also believe God may want to use in you as well:
Do you have the quality of being honest? Do others know you for having strong moral principles, values, or a basic accountability for expected internal consistency? Are there some things that mean more to you than others? Where's you line? Do others know your line {or faded squiggle}?
Who do you represent? How much is the name you just thought of worth preserving? Is that person {being you or someone else} known to be upright, dependable, consistent?
Truths discovered via valley group studies:
God's name is the only name of real integrity. His name is the name above all names. The only one worth wagering anything on. The name in which we can wholly lean on . The name by which we should base all true ethics, accuracy, virtue, and constant upon.
In your "bio" is there anywhere that list something that would link you with those who consider themselves Christians: "noble, and good, and Christ-like"? Are you carrying His name well?
Why do we exist?
To bring GLORY to God. Meaning we are here to do nothing but bring attention to His worthy name. Bring Fame to Him. Honor Him in what we do.
It's not of Him selfish. Its True.
He is the only one deserving glory, honor, respect.
How does this play out in real life {for me in this present time}:
Will I accept an advertising deal for a nice company without being bluntly transparent with my readers about being compensated for the guest post?
I mean, I'm a tiny blog. Just getting started {over 2 years ago Ahhhh}. I'm not a household name. I can claim ignorance of the blogging law and hope not to get in trouble. Maybe no one would find out anyways. My readers probably don't care anyways.
Is my name worth $200 to maintain a consistent pattern of values?
NO
Is The One I represent worth it?
YES
It is no longer I that lives but Christ that lives within me. -Galatians 2:20
I want you to know that my name is worth nothing. This blog is really worth nothing. But as a representative of someone Much higher, I will always strive to have integrity in my life and in everything that spills over here. <3 Through that I pray you are comforted and that above anything else, God's Name is Glorified.
