Keep The Truth Together

People of integrity make an easy target for critics because they stand upright..

Telling the truth has become a lost art. It's not that we're just not telling lies(Althrough there is plenty of that going on). We're just not telling "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth,"We sort of sneak up on the truth,circle the truth, tell part of the truth, but don't come right outand tell the whole truth. We give out just enough information to keep us out of trouble,but not enough to honor God.

When God asks us to be thruthful, He isn't suggesting that we pick out the parts that make us look good. He wants us to deal in whole truth.That's what it means to have integrity:to be "whole." If you want to be a person of integrity,don't break the truth into pieces. Keep it together, even if it invites criticism.

People with integrity have firm footing,
but those who follow crooked paths will slip and fall.
