Summary Statements

¨      You will seldom get what you deserve from people, so don’t expect it!

(Example: Joseph was thrown into prison on false charges.)

 

¨      You will always get what is best from God, so don’t doubt it!

(Example: Joseph and his entire family were taken care of.)

 

¨      Your ability to handle both (#1 and #2) is directly related to the consistency of your   relationship with the Lord!

 

(Taken from Chuck Swindoll’s booklet “Integrity - How To Develop It”)

 

Principles That Work

1.      Make a commitment to yourself to operate with absolute integrity in all your personal and professional activities.

 

2.      Treat your activities on behalf of your employer as if they were activities you were doing for your God (because they are!).

 

3.      Truthfulness is the foundation to establishing trustworthiness.

 

4.      Competence without consistency leads to confusion.

 

5.      What you do or say today will reap benefits or consequences for you tomorrow.
