Speaker 1: The word for pure in heart. Today is the word integrity. Integrity. Now,
Speaker 1: the Bible uses the word integrity a lot, but it
Speaker 1: actually even.
Speaker 2: Uses the word blameless. More.
Speaker 1: Now, what does it mean to have integrity? Because if
Speaker 1: God says I bless those who have integrity, what does
Speaker 1: it mean to have integrity?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 1: In Psalm chapter fifteen, the fifteenth Psalm, David gives us
Speaker 1: eight characteristics of what it means to walk or live
Speaker 1: with integrity. Let me read it to you, Lord, who
Speaker 1: may stand in your sanctuary and who may live on
Speaker 1: your holy mountain?
Speaker 2: And what's he talking about here?
Speaker 1: This is a metaphor, he said, God, who gets to
Speaker 1: be close to you? Here's the answer, the one who
Speaker 1: walks with integrity? Circle that walks with integrity. And then
Speaker 1: he gives us eight characteristics of a man who has
Speaker 1: integrity or a woman who has integrity. Here's what they are.
Speaker 1: Number one, he speaks the truth from his heart. You
Speaker 1: don't lie when you have integrity. He refuses to slander
Speaker 1: others with his tongue. He won't listen to gossip. Oh
Speaker 1: now we're meddling, says, if you listen, not not share it.
Speaker 1: But even if you just listen, to it, you've lost
Speaker 1: your integrity. He will not cast a slur on his
Speaker 1: fellow man. Instead, he honors those who fear the Lord,
Speaker 1: and he keeps his promises even when it hurts. He
Speaker 1: lends his money freely without charging interest. In other words,
Speaker 1: he's very, very generous. That's a mark of integrity, and
Speaker 1: he cannot be bribed by money. Whoever does these things,
Speaker 1: these things will never be shaken. You won't have security
Speaker 1: in your life. You want to get rid of all
Speaker 1: the insecurity in your life.
Speaker 2: Get into in your life.
Speaker 1: You want to have stability in your life, Get integered
Speaker 1: in your life. You want to have the confidence Tom
Speaker 1: was talking about. Then you've got to get integered in
Speaker 1: your life. When you lack integrity, you go through life insecure.
Speaker 1: The Bible says, the man of integrity walks securely. And
Speaker 1: the whole reason you don't have security, the whole reason
Speaker 1: you feel insecure so much time, is because you lack integrity, wholeness, authenticity,
Speaker 1: and an unmixed motivation. What I want to do now
Speaker 1: is give you a little checklist. It's a pretty quick checklist.
Speaker 1: It's not going to take a lot of time for
Speaker 1: me to explain it. In fact, I don't have to
Speaker 1: illustrate it, because once I say these things, you'll understand it.
Speaker 1: Integrity demands that every area of your life is treated
Speaker 1: with the same intensity that you say. I'm going to
Speaker 1: have the same commitment to excellence in my marriage as
Speaker 1: I have in my career. I'm gonna have the same
Speaker 1: commitment to excellence in my my ministry and in my
Speaker 1: parenting as I do in making money. I'm going to
Speaker 1: have as much commitment to the right motivation as I
Speaker 1: do and too doing the right thing. So let me
Speaker 1: just give you six of the common ways you can
Speaker 1: work on these this week from the Bible. Number one,
Speaker 1: you become a person of integrity by keeping your promises.
Speaker 2: By keeping your promises.
Speaker 1: People of integrity keep their word. If they say they'll
Speaker 1: do it, they'll do it. If they say they'll be there,
Speaker 1: they'll be there. They say you can count on it,
Speaker 1: you can count on it. People of integrity keep their promises.
Speaker 1: This is verbal integrity, and the Bible says in Proverbs
Speaker 1: twenty five, verse fourteen, people who promise things that they
Speaker 1: never give. He says, they're like clouds and wind that
Speaker 1: bring no rain. He said, they're worthless. There's been a
Speaker 1: hot bunch of hot air. This is vapor. There's nothing
Speaker 1: to them. They don't bring wind, they don't bring rain,
Speaker 1: they don't bring any benefit.
Speaker 2: They're just all smoking mirrors.
Speaker 1: So my question to you is this, what promises have
Speaker 1: you made that you have not kept? And you need
Speaker 1: to keep them? Before integrity saying, have you made some
Speaker 1: promises your kids? Broken promises are the number one cause
Speaker 1: of bitterness in children.
Speaker 2: The number one cause of bitterness.
Speaker 1: Broken promises that parents said, I set up, Mom, you said, Dad,
Speaker 1: you said, they break promise. Have you made a promise
Speaker 1: to your spouse about something you're going to change and
Speaker 1: you haven't done it?
Speaker 2: It's a broken promise.
Speaker 1: Have you made a promise to God, a spiritual promise,
Speaker 1: a vow and you haven't kept it? That is a
Speaker 1: lack of integrity. Now I know that what happens is
Speaker 1: we say, well, the circumstances have changed, doesn't matter. If
Speaker 1: you made a promise, you got to keep your word,
Speaker 1: even if it is not beneficial to you. Do you
Speaker 1: remember that Psalm fifteen we just read let me look
Speaker 1: at it again here on screen, So I'm fifteen verse four,
Speaker 1: God blesses the one who walks with integrity, who keeps
Speaker 1: his promises even when it hurts, even when it.
Speaker 2: Costs you more.
Speaker 1: And you thought I was gonna cost you, you keep
Speaker 1: your promise, I said, I sult to you for that.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna sell it to you for that, even though
Speaker 1: it's worth a whole lot more or whatever. You keep
Speaker 1: your promises even when it hurts. Number two, you become
Speaker 1: a person of integrity by paying your bills. Now you
Speaker 1: may not think this is a big deal, but it's
Speaker 1: a big deal to God. This is financial integrity. And
Speaker 1: the Bible says over and over and over and over
Speaker 1: again that the way you use your money is a
Speaker 1: test of your integrity. Do you spend more money than
Speaker 1: you make That is a lack of integrity. Do you
Speaker 1: get yourself in debt to things that you can't pay off,
Speaker 1: That is a lack of integrity. The Bible says, people
Speaker 1: of integrity pay their bills. It's like keeping your promises financially. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go into all the different ways,
Speaker 1: but let.
Speaker 2: Me just give you a couple. Here's a couple verses.
Speaker 1: First, you don't default on loans, and you pay off
Speaker 1: your credit card Psalm thirty seven to twenty one says
Speaker 1: the wicked man borrows and never pays back. And not
Speaker 1: only that, this one's really meddling. Some of these are
Speaker 1: going to get a little personal here. You don't defraud
Speaker 1: the government of taxes. The Bible says in Romans thirteen,
Speaker 1: verse six and seven, the authorities working are working for God.
Speaker 1: Pay what you owe them. Pay your personal and property taxes.
Speaker 1: You say, but Rick, the government is wasting my money.
Speaker 1: Of course, I know that, okay, and they don't. The
Speaker 1: government lacks integrity because they're spending far more than they
Speaker 1: take in. Okay, and they're doing deficit spending. But you
Speaker 1: don't get to do that if you have integrity. What
Speaker 1: they do with my taxes going to be accountable to
Speaker 1: God for But I am accountable to God to pay
Speaker 1: my taxes that do not cheat on them, because if
Speaker 1: I do, I lack integrity.
Speaker 2: The Bible says, to do that. Okay.
Speaker 1: Number three, you become a person of integrity by keeping
Speaker 1: your promises, paying your bills. And number three, this one's
Speaker 1: really meddling. By refusing to gossip. That's what the Bible says.
Speaker 1: This is relational integrity, and that is you don't talk
Speaker 1: one way with one group of people and then go
Speaker 1: talk about them behind their back. If you flatter somebody
Speaker 1: and you butter them up and you act like they're
Speaker 1: best friends, and then behind them you cut them off
Speaker 1: at the knees and you say one.
Speaker 2: Thing here and one thing there.
Speaker 1: And you gossip, the Bible says, you lack integrity.
Speaker 2: You don't have it, and you're.
Speaker 1: Not gonna have God's blessing on your life if you
Speaker 1: keep on gossiping like that. And the Bible says, if
Speaker 1: you listen to it, did you know that accepting stolen
Speaker 1: goods gets the same criminal indictment as stealing it, and
Speaker 1: so accepting gossip is the same thing as offering it up.
Speaker 1: It's a wrong thing. Every time you gossip, you lose integrity.
Speaker 1: Do you talk about other people behind their back? Can
Speaker 1: you keep a secret? The Bible says this in Proverbs eleven,
Speaker 1: verse thirteen. A gossip can't be trusted with a secret,
Speaker 1: But somewhat of integrity won't violate a confidence.
Speaker 2: You know what we need today?
Speaker 1: We need men and women of integrity who know how
Speaker 1: to keep a secret and not put it on Facebook
Speaker 1: or blab it on Twitter. Or pass it around on
Speaker 1: social media. You know, one of the rules of our
Speaker 1: small groups is what's said in the group stays in
Speaker 1: the group. Why because everybody needs a safe place of
Speaker 1: a few friends where you can be real and be
Speaker 1: yourself and have not other everybody go publish it about you.
Speaker 1: Real friends walk in to your life when everybody else
Speaker 1: walks out. And when you mess up and you really
Speaker 1: blow it, you need a few friends in your life.
Speaker 1: You don't rub it in, they rub it out. And
Speaker 1: that's the purpose of a small group, one of the purposes.
Speaker 1: And so what said in the group stays in the group.
Speaker 1: Can you keep a confidence? Or as soon as somebody
Speaker 1: says now, I've never told this to anybody, you immediately
Speaker 1: go tell somebody else. If you do, you lack integrity.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this there on the screen Proverbs ten eighteen.
Speaker 1: Anyone who spreads gossip, God says you're a fool. Anyone
Speaker 1: who spreads gossip is a fool. It's a foolish, destructive
Speaker 1: thing to do, all right. Number four, I'm just going
Speaker 1: through these pretty quickly. Integrity is developed by keeping your promises,
Speaker 1: paying your bills, refusing the gossip. Number four, by faithfully tithing.
Speaker 1: Did you know that the Bible says that tithing is
Speaker 1: a test of integrity. One of the ways God tests
Speaker 1: my integrity is through tithing. Do I trust Him with
Speaker 1: my finances? Do I put him first? Whatever? Wherever you
Speaker 1: put your money first is what's most important to you.
Speaker 1: Let me say it again, Wherever you put your money
Speaker 1: first is what's most important to you. And the Bible
Speaker 1: says that tithing is a test of integrity because Jesus said,
Speaker 1: wherever your heart is, wherever your treasure is, that's where
Speaker 1: your heart's going to be. So you can always know
Speaker 1: what's important people by looking at it and where they
Speaker 1: spend their money. And here's what God says about this
Speaker 1: Malachi chapter three.
Speaker 2: Is it right for a person to cheat God? Of
Speaker 2: course not. Yet.
Speaker 1: You are robbing me, says the Lord. How yes, you're
Speaker 1: spending my money by withholding your full tithe and offerings.
Speaker 1: Bring to me the full amount of your tithe to
Speaker 1: my house, me to the test, and you'll see that
Speaker 1: I will open the windows of heaven and pour out
Speaker 1: so much blessing on you that you won't even have
Speaker 1: enough room to receive it.
Speaker 2: All.
Speaker 1: This is a test, and this is a promise. It's
Speaker 1: the Pepsi challenge verse. Jesus God says, I dare you
Speaker 1: to trust me on this?
Speaker 2: How dare you to trust me?
Speaker 1: Do you have the integrity to put me first in
Speaker 1: your finances? Hi? Everybody, this is pastor Rick. Because of
Speaker 1: the Genders support of many of you Daily Hope listeners,
Speaker 1: we're able to offer daily Hope devotionals for free worldwide.
Speaker 1: In fact, today I have a note from Paul in
Speaker 1: Kenya that shows how God does at work through the
Speaker 1: Daily Hope devotionals. Paul wrote me. He said, I'd like
Speaker 1: to sincerely thank you with the free gift of your
Speaker 1: daily Hope devotionals. May God receive all the glory. For
Speaker 1: some time now, you're inspiring and encouraging messages, along with
Speaker 1: scripture references, have helped me push through some really tough
Speaker 1: times and get closer to God. However, Paul writes, the
Speaker 1: best part is that my faith in God has now
Speaker 1: grown to the point that He recently gave me the
Speaker 1: strength and wisdom to accept His free, undeserved gifts to
Speaker 1: grace and salvation. By accepting and confessing Jesus Christ as
Speaker 1: my Lord and Savior, I feel like a new being,
Speaker 1: and I yearn to keep growing more and more in
Speaker 1: God's word and in wisdom, surrendering my life to His
Speaker 1: will alone. So please hold my hand in this journey
Speaker 1: to the glory and honor of God to Christ Jesus. Paul,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, I will hold your hand as you
Speaker 1: journey with Jesus. There is no greater decision that you
Speaker 1: could have made than believing and receiving Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2: So can congratulations. You're my brother in Christ.
Speaker 1: And I want to encourage you to be on the
Speaker 1: lookout every day to see how God guides you, how
Speaker 1: God directs you. It's an exciting journey. And by the way,
Speaker 1: keep studying His word every day. Get a Bible and
Speaker 1: read it every day. I'm so thankful that Daily Hope
Speaker 1: devotional is helping you to do just that now. The
Speaker 1: Daily Hope Devotional is helping many, many people just like Paul,
Speaker 1: all around the world to grow closer to God.
Speaker 2: And it's free.
Speaker 1: If you're not getting it, I want to encourage you
Speaker 1: to go to Daily hopetv dot com and sign up today.
Speaker 1: You become a person of integrity, keeping your promises, paying
Speaker 1: your bills, refusing the gossip, faithfully tithing by doing.
Speaker 2: Your best at work.
Speaker 1: By doing your best at work, this is business integrity
Speaker 1: or vocational spiritual integrity. Tithing and relational integrity, not gossiping
Speaker 1: and financial integrity paying your bills. This is vocational integrity
Speaker 1: of having integrity where you work. Do you do your
Speaker 1: best at work? Are you to just slough off when
Speaker 1: the boss isn't watching? See, some people only work hard
Speaker 1: when the boss is around, when the supervisor's around, and
Speaker 1: the rest.
Speaker 2: Of the time they're goofing off.
Speaker 1: They're playing around, they're standing in the water coolor gossiping.
Speaker 1: They're playing solitaire on the computer or reading some online magazine.
Speaker 1: They're they're taking supplies home to their house, ripping off
Speaker 1: the office. They're you know, taking breaks, coming in late.
Speaker 1: As long as they're not being noticed. You may have
Speaker 1: never realized what a serious sin God considers it for
Speaker 1: you to give a full day's work when you're paid
Speaker 1: a full day's wage. You don't have the right to
Speaker 1: goof off. He said, Well, everybodybody else is slacking off.
Speaker 1: Nobody else works hard in my office. Well, so what,
Speaker 1: They're not a follower of Christ, and maybe they don't
Speaker 1: care about integrity. And maybe they don't care about leaving
Speaker 1: a legacy rewards fraternity and personal stability, but you do.
Speaker 1: And so whether they work hard and well or not
Speaker 1: is irrelevant. Let me show you some just a few
Speaker 1: verses about this.
Speaker 2: Here in the screen.
Speaker 1: Proverbs eighteen, verse nine says this, slack habits and sloppy
Speaker 1: work are as bad as vandalism.
Speaker 2: That's what God says about it.
Speaker 1: He says, you know, if you're just goofing off and
Speaker 1: you do poor work and you don't really that's good
Speaker 1: enough for this. You know, nobody's gonna even notice. He said,
Speaker 1: that's like vandalism. Let me show you in the Living Bible.
Speaker 1: The Bible says this, a lazy employee is as destructive
Speaker 1: as a saboteur.
Speaker 2: Oh, now we're really getting deep here.
Speaker 1: He's saying that if I am not given a full
Speaker 1: day work for a full day's wage, I may hate
Speaker 1: my job. It doesn't matter if I hate it or not.
Speaker 1: I am actually vandalizing and I'm sabotaging somebody else's business
Speaker 1: if I'm not giving it my best. If I don't
Speaker 1: give it my best, then I lack integrity. Let me
Speaker 1: show you a couple of The verses Ephesians six six
Speaker 1: says this, don't work hard only when your master, that's
Speaker 1: your supervisor, is watching. And then sure when he isn't looking,
Speaker 1: work hard and work with gladness, and that's enthusiasm all
Speaker 1: the time, even if you hate your job, as though
Speaker 1: working for Christ, doing the will of God with all
Speaker 1: your heart. It is God's will that you work hard
Speaker 1: and with gladness all the time, as if you are
Speaker 1: working for Christ. You see, if you're a believer, your
Speaker 1: boss is your boss. Your real boss is God. And
Speaker 1: whether anybody else sees it or not, you said, nobody's
Speaker 1: going to see whether I worked or not.
Speaker 2: God does and he's your boss.
Speaker 1: Your boss isn't watching you all the time, but God
Speaker 1: is watching you all the time. And this is a test,
Speaker 1: it's a test of integrity. And as God's will that
Speaker 1: I not waste the time and the money and the
Speaker 1: resources of the owner of the business or my employer.
Speaker 2: I'll show you another one.
Speaker 1: Colossums three twenty two says this, and don't just do
Speaker 1: the minimum that will get you by, do your best.
Speaker 1: That's integrity. Are you doing your best at work? If not,
Speaker 1: you need to change. You need to what's called repent.
Speaker 1: I need to not just do the minimum. I need
Speaker 1: to give it my best shot, do your best. In fact,
Speaker 1: the next verse Colossums three twenty three, it's on your
Speaker 1: outline says this, work hard and cheerfully is whatever you
Speaker 1: do as though you're working for the Lord rather than people.
Speaker 1: That is a mark of integrity. What kind of witness
Speaker 1: would we have in the world if we were all
Speaker 1: like that? Let me give you one more, anyone, you
Speaker 1: become a person of integrity by being real with others.
Speaker 1: You become a person of integrity by being real with others.
Speaker 1: You don't fake it. You are yourself. You don't pretend.
Speaker 1: It's what we were talking about earlier. You're authentic, you're genuine.
Speaker 1: You're not a hoop of crete dose. You don't wear
Speaker 1: a mask and talk a certain way with this group
Speaker 1: and then go over here and wear another mask and
Speaker 1: act a certain way with this group. And you don't
Speaker 1: act one way in church and one way at work,
Speaker 1: and then another way in the golf course or when
Speaker 1: you're playing shooting some hoops or whatever. No, you're always
Speaker 1: the same. You're not perfect, you're not sinless. It's not
Speaker 1: that you don't make mistakes. You do make mistakes, but
Speaker 1: your heart's in the right direction, and you are real
Speaker 1: with other people. You're not a phony, not a fake.
Speaker 1: You're not trying to be something that you're not really.
Speaker 1: Two Corinthians four to two says this. We refuse to
Speaker 1: wear masks, we refuse to play games. We don't maneuver
Speaker 1: and manipulate behind the scenes, and we don't twist God's
Speaker 1: word to suit ourselves. In other words, we say, well,
Speaker 1: I think this means this when we just don't like
Speaker 1: what it says. Rather, we keep everything we do and
Speaker 1: say out in the open. Your life is an open book.
Speaker 1: You're authentic. What you see is what you get. You
Speaker 1: are not a phony, You're not a fake. You're into integrity,
Speaker 1: not into image. How in the world do you keep
Speaker 1: it real? There's only one way. It's only one way.
Speaker 1: You got to care more about God's approval than the
Speaker 1: approval of other people. That's the only way you'll ever
Speaker 1: become a man of integrity. That's the only way you'll
Speaker 1: ever come become a woman of integrity, because if you
Speaker 1: care about what God thinks, then you're going to do
Speaker 1: the right thing. If you care about what other people
Speaker 1: think you're going to typically often do the wrong thing
Speaker 1: because what God thinks is sometimes I'm popular, sometimes it's difficult.
Speaker 2: The only way you.
Speaker 1: Can maintain integrity is to care more about God's approval,
Speaker 1: well done, good and faithful servant than to care about
Speaker 1: the approval of other people. Psalone nineteen nine says this,
Speaker 1: how can I keep my way? Pure? Blessed are the
Speaker 1: pure in heart? They get to see God? How can
Speaker 1: I keep? How do I live a life of integrity?
Speaker 1: By living according to your word? You must stay in
Speaker 1: this book. And if you don't stand in this book,
Speaker 1: you will not have the strength and the stamina to
Speaker 1: live with integrity. Now, this is why, friends, we need
Speaker 1: a savior. Okay, what we just talked about today, this
Speaker 1: is why you need a savior. This is why we
Speaker 1: need the cross. This is why we need grace. This
Speaker 1: is why we need forgiveness. Why because none of us
Speaker 1: measure up, none of us are perfect. The Bible says,
Speaker 1: there's not a just man on the earth who always does.
Speaker 2: What is right and never does what is wrong.
Speaker 1: The Bible says, we have all sinned, and we have
Speaker 1: all fallen short. So each of us have our own
Speaker 1: unique falling shorts. You have your falling shorts, and I
Speaker 1: have my falling shorts. But thank God he forgives all
Speaker 1: our falling shorts, all of sin and fallen short of
Speaker 1: the glory of God. This is why you need grace,
Speaker 1: You need a savior, because there's no way I can
Speaker 1: measure up to God's perfection. There's no way you can't either.
Speaker 1: God doesn't expect you to be perfect. He does expect
Speaker 1: you to have integrity, which means you own up.
Speaker 2: And the starting point to be a man of.
Speaker 1: God or a woman of God is to say, I
Speaker 1: admit it, I just don't have integrity in some of
Speaker 1: these areas.
Speaker 2: What really matters is the direction of your heart.
Speaker 1: When you come to God and say, God, this is
Speaker 1: my heart and I really want it to be in
Speaker 1: this direction, then God could say about you like he
Speaker 1: did about David. Remember the guy who committed adultery and murder.
Speaker 1: There's a guy after my own heart. He looked past
Speaker 1: all the mistakes that had been made, and he looked
Speaker 1: at the direction of David's sarpsis the guy's got a
Speaker 1: good heart. He's going in the right direction. He wants
Speaker 1: to do the right thing, and that comes from the
Speaker 1: power and the grace of God. Let's power heads. I'm
Speaker 1: going to pray a prayer and you can just follow
Speaker 1: me in it. Make it your prayer. To God, to
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, I thank you that you were sinless, you
Speaker 1: never sinned, You were the ultimate example of integrity, and
Speaker 1: so you could pay the price for all my sins.
Speaker 2: Thank you for dying on the cross for me.
Speaker 1: Just say that in your mind, thank you for dying
Speaker 1: on the cross, for paying all my sins. There is
Speaker 1: no way God that I could measure up to your
Speaker 1: standard of perfection. And that's why I need your grace,
Speaker 1: and that's why I need your forgiveness, and that's why
Speaker 1: I need your salvation. And Jesus, thank you for loving
Speaker 1: me enough to pay for all my sins. The confession
Speaker 1: of bad works is the beginning of good work. So
Speaker 1: why don't you just have a little confession time with God?
Speaker 1: Why don't you say, God, I admit that I don't
Speaker 1: always keep my promises, but I want to. And God,
Speaker 1: I admit that I've spent more money than I make,
Speaker 1: and I've got myself really deeply in debt and I
Speaker 1: haven't paid off all my debts. But I want to,
Speaker 1: and I ask you to help me stop spending more
Speaker 1: than I make so I can start paying off my
Speaker 1: debts and be a person of integrity. And God, I
Speaker 1: admit that I have gossiped, I have shared secrets, I've
Speaker 1: listened to gossip. I've slandered other people, and I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I don't want to be that way. And God, I
Speaker 1: haven't put you first in my money. I've paid everything
Speaker 1: except my tithe. I put you in last place, not first.
Speaker 1: As an act of integrity, I'm going to start tithing.
Speaker 1: And God, I admit that I don't always do my best,
Speaker 1: and I don't always work hard cheerfully. A lot of
Speaker 1: times I just slack off because I don't really like
Speaker 1: my job.
Speaker 2: Some days.
Speaker 1: Help me to remember that whether anybody else notices what I.
Speaker 2: Do, you notice.
Speaker 1: Help me to do my work with excellence, with quality,
Speaker 1: and with integrity, knowing that I'm working for you as
Speaker 1: my real boss. And God, I need you to give
Speaker 1: me the courage to be real with other people. I'm
Speaker 1: tired of wearing masks. I'm tired of playing games. I'm
Speaker 1: tired of maneuvering and manipulating behind the scenes. I want
Speaker 1: to live my life as an open book, not perfect,
Speaker 1: not sinless, but authentic and whole. I want today, Jesus Christ,
Speaker 1: to commit to becoming a man or a woman of integrity.
Speaker 1: I want a pure heart that you can bless. Help
Speaker 1: me to stand the word every day, that it is
Speaker 1: your word that keeps me pure. If you've never invited
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ to forgive all your sins and to be
Speaker 1: the savior in the Lord of your life, say Jesus Christ.
Speaker 1: I don't understand it all, but I want to thank
Speaker 1: you for dying for my sins. And I ask you
Speaker 1: to become the leader, the Lord, the manager, the boss
Speaker 1: of my life.
Speaker 2: And I want your purpose and peace and plan and power.
Speaker 2: And I humbly ask this in your name. Amen.
