This is not a problem with youth Youth problems are “trickle down” issues “The fathers have eaten sour grapes, And the children's teeth are set on edge”

Honesty is a manner of Living Job 31:5-8 : Integrity Dealing on the “up and up” Defrauding no one of any thing Never seeking to deceive

Dishonesty is a manner of living To better myself Selfishness Covetousness and Materialism

Everyone does it They deserve it I deserve it

Dishonesty Destroys Reputations Reputation: A Good Name A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold Proverbs 22:1

Dishonesty Destroys Reputations Reputation: A Good Name Having your conduct honorable among the Gentiles, that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may, by your good works which they observe, glorify God in the day of visitation 1 Peter 2:12

Dishonesty Destroys Reputations Proverbs 16:11 Honest weights and scales are the LORD'S; All the weights in the bag are His work.

Relationships depend on trusting Job 31:1-8 “If you marry a man who cheats on his wife, you'll be married to a man who cheats on his wife” - Ann Landers
