Values That Last A Lifetime II, Valuing Integrity

Integrity is defined as being an undivided and complete person whose private life matches their public image. Maintaining integrity is vital because it pleases God, protects the well-being of one's children, and serves as a powerful witness to unbelieving neighbors. To stay integrated in a dark world, believers must choose the right friends, value internal character over external image, and guard their hearts against negative media influences.
