Oh Lord, teach me your ways, so I follow him faithfully. make my heart honor your name. (Psalm 86:11)
The world today is full of lights that can blind us, yet we Christians are called to be integrated, and that integrity is keeping his eyes on Jesus, definitely something simple say, but not so simple when you put it into practice.
As I said, is attracting today's world, just around every corner there are distractions that divert us from our north, we deviate from our target, which is Christ.
Integrity, like many things in believer's life is related to worship, you can not pretend to be a worshiper if there is no integrity in your life.
Many associate worship with some form of singing or with some moments of prayer and intimacy with God, but worship is far more than that, and nothing is more related to lifestyle, the center of worship are not us do what we do, the center of worship is Jesus, the whole is Jesus, not about you or me, but Jesus.
The word integrity means without division and that God calls us to have a heart without division devoted to him, with eyes fixed on Jesus.
Our Integrity is more concerning Jesus, from start to finish Jesus revealed a wholehearted, fully committed to the Father and with his will.
true worshipers and complete follow your example, nothing distracts or distances them from their ultimate goal, giving glory to God, as men comply with the measure of Christ, reach spiritual maturity.
Jesus on the road to the cross could have said no, this is not for me and had the power to do so, however, he keeps his heart of all who would deflect it, was willing to meet the mandated, he is intact and we as children of God, worshiping integrity are called to do same.
Jesus not only came to bring salvation, also came to issue guidelines to tell us and show us how we should be, to be an example, is up to us to follow
As worshipers need to have hearts integrity uncontaminated protect us from everything you're looking away the path of pure worship, and the best way to do it everyday intimacy with our Father, sometimes the things that separate us from the worship is good in itself, remember Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42 ) , no one has said that what Martha was doing was wrong, only that what Mary did was better, not to neglect the best, it is to sit at the feet of Jesus and worship Him
is perfectly possible to work very hard in God's work while maintaining a passionate and intimate relationship with Him, Jesus did, we must never leave out those moments of intimacy with God.
priority will always be divine "worship first and second serve"
That nothing in this land divide our hearts, "I am crucified with Christ, I no longer live, Christ lives in me"
Every day we our faith is tested in a corrupt system, the only way to maintain our integrity is through intimacy and worship
That at the end of our days, we can say like Paul to Timothy
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith. Moreover, I is the crown of righteousness, which will give me the Lord, the righteous judge, at that day: and not only me but also to all who love his appearing. "
