Everybody needs standards. If you do not have standards then there is nothing to measure yourself against or by.
INTEGRITY
I Kings 13:7-10
7And the king said unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward. 8And the man of God said unto the king, If thou wilt give me half thine house, I will not go in with thee, neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place: 9For so was it charged me by the word of the LORD, saying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same way that thou camest. 10So he went another way, and returned not by the way that he came to Bethel.
• Integrity demands you to stay true to the command.
• It will not always look like the way to go, but it pays off in the long run.
• The key to experiencing the kind of success that is worth having, forces you to question and analyze your situations before making a decision.
• Integrity is the process of discerning right from wrong, then doing what you know to be right.
• People do not always act on what they know to do that is right, but integrity pushes you in that direction.
• Integrity guides you to know what the truth is by compelling you to act on what is right.
• What distinguishes a person of integrity is that they routinely act on what they know to be right.
• Integrity is not some one time deal, it is a lifelong process. Something that you do all the time.
Ethics, Character, and Integrity
• Character refers to moral strength, self discipline, fortitude or good reputation. It is what enables you to act on what your integrity guides you to believe is right.
• Ethics is a system of moral standards or values that is a foundation for your actions or simply what you govern yourself by.
• It is not until you combine morals and character with your ethics is when you become a person of integrity. A person who is guided to do what is right.
• If you have morals, ethics, and character you can say that you choose to do so. Made a commitment to do what is right with the three combined.

Genesis 39:1-15
1And Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him of the hands of the Ishmeelites, which had brought him down thither. 2And the LORD was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian. 3And his master saw that the LORD was with him, and that the LORD made all that he did to prosper in his hand. 4And Joseph found grace in his sight, and he served him: and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hand. 5And it came to pass from the time that he had made him overseer in his house, and over all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was upon all that he had in the house, and in the field. 6And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand; and he knew not ought he had, save the bread which he did eat. And Joseph was a goodly person, and well favoured. 7And it came to pass after these things, that his master's wife cast her eyes upon Joseph; and she said, Lie with me.
8But he refused, and said unto his master's wife, Behold, my master wotteth not what is with me in the house, and he hath committed all that he hath to my hand; 9There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back anything from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 10And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph day by day that he hearkened not unto her, to lie by her, or to be with her. 11And it came to pass about this time, that Joseph went into the house to do his business; and there was none of the men of the house there within. 12And she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me: and he left his garment in her hand, and fled, and got him out. 13And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 14That she called unto the men of her house, and spake unto them, saying, See, he hath brought in an Hebrew unto us to mock us; he came in unto me to lie with me, and I cried with a loud voice: 15And it came to pass, when he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried, that he left his garment with me, and fled, and got him out.
