LIFE APPLICATION QUESTIONS CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 20

Do I consider myself to be an honest person? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 21

What moral values have I adopted that prevent me from doing anything that would conflict with that code of honor? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 22

What sources have formed that set of values? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 23

When considering my own personal health, do I also take into account the needs of the community and how my choices could affect others? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 24

What choices have I made with respect to personal hygiene, such as hand washing and staying away from contact with others when ill, have positively affected my community? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 25

What practices for my own pleasure am I ashamed of because of the negative effects they may have on someone else? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 26

A local church health ministries leader regularly presents lectures to the church members in which she advocates a total vegetarian diet. CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 27

She also favors an organic diet, although she is aware that many of the members cannot afford the higher prices for organic foods. CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 28

Sometimes, however, she invites others to go with her to an ice cream parlor where she enjoys ice cream as a “special treat.” CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 29

What lifestyle practices do I have that may conflict with what I “preach?” Am I truly “walking the talk?” CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 30

What can I do to ensure that others trust what I say to them is in their best interest and not just my way of pushing my own personal beliefs? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 31

Am I promoting any health practices, dietary principles, etc., that would be unsuitable for a given situation in which I am not involved? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 32

Do I grant others the ability to hold their own opinions, even when I am sure I am right? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 33

What personal choices fly in the face of evidence but are comfortable or desirable just because they are what I want to do? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 34

What evidence presented in this book have I disregarded because it would be difficult or unpleasant to have to fit certain practices into my lifestyle? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 35

Have I violated my code of honor? Do I admit my wrongdoing? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 36

What do I do with the guilt I feel because I have not lived up to my values? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 37

Do I punish myself by dwelling on my guilt or fall into a cycle of repeating the behavior again and again? Or can I accept the mercy and forgiveness that Jesus freely offers? CELEBRATIONS®Integrity 38
