How Do I Break Free from Dishonesty?

Pursue INTEGRITY that lasts

Psalm 119:1-3 “1 Joyful are people of integrity, who follow the instructions of the Lord. 2 Joyful are those who obey his laws and search for him with all their hearts. 3 They do not compromise with evil, and they walk only in his paths.

Recognize God’s PRIORITY on integrity

4 You have charged us to keep your commandments carefully. 5 Oh, that my actions would consistently reflect your decrees! 6 Then I will not be ashamed
when I compare my life with your commands.
