Does it matter? we are called to a high standard of integrity.
|
Have you ever copied a paper or cheated on a test? How did you feel?
|
What do you think? Is it okay to use a paper from the Internet or copy someone else's paper and use it as your own?
|
Turn to Proverbs 11:1-8 The LORD hates cheating, but he delights in honesty. Pride leads to disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. Good people are guided by their honesty; treacherous people are destroyed by their dishonesty. Riches won't help on the day of judgment, but right living is a safeguard against death. The godly are directed by their honesty; the wicked fall beneath their load of sin. The godliness of good people rescues them; the ambition of treacherous people traps them. When the wicked die, their hopes all perish, for they rely on their own feeble strength. God rescues the godly from danger, but he lets the wicked fall into trouble.

Being men and women of integrity. "Beware of the thing of which you say-'oh, that does not matter much.' The fact that it does not matter much to you may mean that it matters a very great deal to God. Nothing is a light matter with a child of God."
