Integrity with Dr. David Nehring

Dr. David Nehring joins us for this episode, focusing on Integrity. Integrity is about God. Most importantly it is about ME in relationship to a living, Holy God. Who are “we”? – “We” as people of the Book.

Q: What is the value system of the Book?

A: Holiness, Kinship & Purity: the good, the true, the beautiful, the just, home, parents, community, real relationships.

How do we intentionality instill integrity in our kids as we are raising them and training them?

Look at Self first – Personal Integrity

Doing what I say

Me & Thee – Self & Spouse

Doing what we say
Saying what we do
Growing in the Principles of God

Church/ Community/ Country

Doing what we say
Saying what we do
Growing in the Principles of God

Bible Verse: Proverbs 11:3 The integrity of the upright guides them, but the unfaithful are destroyed by their duplicity.
