THE MORAL ISSUE OF INTEGRITY PART 2 OF 9

TEXT- PROVERBS 10:9

INTRODUCTION

TONIGHT WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE WITH OUR STUDY OF THE TOPIC BIBLICAL MORALITY LOOKING AT THE MORAL ISSUES OF OUR DAY AND TIME THAT ARE AFFECTING OUR SOCIETY.

OUR TEXT IS FOUND IN PROVERBS 10:9 AND THE TITLE OF MY MESSAGE IS, "WALKING IN INTEGRITY."

A CUSTOMER WANTED TO BUY A CHICKEN AND THE BUTCHER HAD ONLY ONE IN STOCK.  HE WEIGHED IT AND SAID, "WHAT A BEAUTY.  THAT WILL BE $1.98, LADY." "OH, THAT'S NOT QUITE LARGE ENOUGH," SAID THE WOMAN.  SO THE BUTCHER WENT BACK TO THE FREEZER ACTED LIKE HE WAS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER CHICKEN, CAME BACK OUT WEIGHED THE SAME ONE AGAIN AND SAID, "THIS ONE IS $2.25." "OH, THAT'S FINE!" SAID THE CUSTOMER.  "I'LL TAKE BOTH OF THEM."

TODAY THE LACK OF INTEGRITY CAN BE CLEARLY SEEN THROUGHOUT OUR SOCIETY.

THE EVIDENCE OF THIS CAN BE SEEN IN THE WAY SO MANY TODAY ARE CHEATING, LYING AND STEALING.

AS WE STUDY WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS CONCERNING INTEGRITY I WOULD LIKE US TO CONSIDER THREE AREAS OF OUR SOCIETY WHERE WE CAN SHOW INTEGRITY.
