7. KEY TEXT Titus 2:7, 8 NIV “I N EVERYTHING SET them an example by doing what is good. In your teaching show integrity, seriousness and soundness of speech that cannot be condemned, so that those who oppose you may be ashamed because they have nothing bad to say about us.”

8. Integrity: Wholeness and Holiness I NITIAL W ORDS {310} O UR CONTENTION THAT a life of integrity fosters health begins with the premise that the physical, mental, and emotional/spiritual faculties must be integrated. Moral integrity, a sense of right living, must apply to every area.

10. Integrity: Wholeness and Holiness 1. J ESUS AND I NTEGRITY Matthew 4:8-11 NKJV “A GAIN THE DEVIL took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to Him, ‘All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.’ Then Jesus said to him, ‘Away with you, Satan! For it is written, “You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.” ’ ”

11. 1. Jesus and Integrity I N THE W ILDERNESS {301} C OMPROMISE IS SO easy, isn’t it? Especially as one gets older, things do not often appear so black and white as they once did. We give in a little here, a little there, and hold firm from our new position. Before long, we find ourselves in a place that we once never would have dreamed we would be in. That is what compromise is all about.

12. Yes, compromise is easy. Too easy. Satan will work through our appetite, through our presumption and pride, through our desire for worldly things, through any avenue to get us to violate our integrity, and to push us away from Jesus. Only through a constant and firm reliance on the power of God, and a willingness to die to self, can we overcome. 1. Jesus and Integrity I N THE W ILDERNESS {301}

13. Integrity: Wholeness and Holiness 2. M AINTAINING I NTEGRITY Genesis 39:7-9 NKJV “H IS MASTER’S WIFE … said, ‘Lie with me.’ But he refused and said, … ‘There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife, How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?’ ”

14. 2. Maintaining Integrity S EXUAL I NTEGRITY {307} “S EXUAL IMMORALITY IS sin, and sin damages our relationship with God and with others. The surest way to protect yourself from these diseases [herpes, HIV/AIDS] is to follow biblical principles of sexual morality. Sexual pleasure is for a man and a woman within marriage.

15. There are so many temptations out there, temptations that can so often lead to moral compromise. If we are honest with ourselves, many of us will admit we are devious or at least less than transparent in many of our dealings. Sometimes we will not tell a lie, but we do not exactly convey the truth. 2. Maintaining Integrity P ERSON OF I NTEGRITY {303}

16. Ephesians 3:16, 17 NKJV “T HAT H E WOULD grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” Integrity: Wholeness and Holiness 3. S PIRITUALITY AND I NTEGRITY

17. 3. Spirituality and Integrity A CTING ON B ELIEF {305} WE MIGHT BE so solid, so faithful, so firm and unwavering in so many ways, and yet, with one area in which we have not surrendered to the Lord, one sinful area we seek to hold on to, we can find ourselves in deep moral, spiritual, and even physical trouble.

18. The Holy Spirit can strengthen us from within; that is, He can change us, not like some cosmetic surgery but more like heart surgery, something working deep within us. And this change comes to us by faith, by knowing the reality of God’s love for us. The Lord seeks a complete transformation in our lives. 3. Spirituality and Integrity A CTING ON B ELIEF {305}

19. Integrity requires that our actions reflect our belief. Exercise is important for the body. We show a lack of integrity if we neglect giving our bodies the exercise they need. “Men and women must be taught to take a careful view of every habit and every practice and at once put away those things that cause an unhealthy condition of the body….” Counsels on Health 480 3.

20. Integrity: Wholeness and Holiness F INAL W ORDS {311} “T HE GREATEST WANT of the world is the want of men—men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.”—Education 57
