An Epistle from Paul:

That We Be People of Integrity – After his Sunday message, a preacher of a church in London got on a trolley Monday morning to go back to his study. He paid his fare, and the trolley driver gave him too much change. The preacher sat

down and fumbled the change and looked it over, counted it eight or nine times. He began to rationalize why it was no big deal. After all, it might even be the providence of God providing for his needs which were genuine since money issues were especially tight that week… He wrestled with himself all the way down that old trolley trail that led to his office. But then as he came to his stop, the preacher got up. He walked to the trolley driver and simply said, "You made a mistake. I believe you gave me too much change.” The driver looked up at him and said, “No, it wasn’t a mistake. You see I heard your message yesterday morning when you developed the idea of honesty and integrity. I thought I would simply put you to the test.”

Don’t think for a moment that the world isn’t doing the exact same thing to all of us. Each and every day, we who are servants of the most High God have the world watching us like a hawk to see just how consistent we are in our walk with Christ. Our Lord said in Luke 19:17 “…well done, good and faithful servant, because you have been faithful in a very little thing be in authority over ten cities.” In other words, our Lord is watching that we would be faithful to Him. Be aware, brethren and friend, the world is not the only one(s) watching us! How our Lord wants and desires that His Body the Churchbe people of integrity! May we ever do so!!

In His Marvelous Love, Paul
