The Need for Integrity
by Charles R. Swindoll

1 Thessalonians 2:3

Leaders with power and brains are common. So are leaders with riches and popularity. But a competent leader full of integrity and skill, coupled with sincerity, is rare indeed.

Deception creates suspicion. Once the leader's followers begin to suspect motives or find that what is said publicly is denied privately, the thin wire of respect that holds everything in place snaps. Confidence drains away. All of us have suffered disappointment and no little fear as we watched various leaders' secret lives exposed to the public in the last several years. With each revelation of lies, our respect and confidence in our leaders dwindled.

The late President Dwight Eisenhower stated his opinion with dogmatism: "The supreme quality for a leader is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is a section gang, on a football field, in an army, or in an office. If his associates find him guilty of phoniness, if they find that he lacks forthright integrity, he will fail. His teachings and actions must square with each other."

I can think of few ingredients more foundational to being a good leader than knowing oneself---and accepting oneself---and feeling secure about oneself inside one's own skin.

"The first great need, therefore, is integrity and high purpose."
—Dwight D. Eisenhower

"I will cause you to become the father of a great nation; I will bless you and make your name famous, and you will be a blessing to many others."
(Genesis 12:2, NLT)

Do you have a mountain to climb today? Mid Life decisions that your not ready for?

Do you have a burden that is overwhelming? Family situations etc...

Maybe you need of a Victory after many defeats just to get you back on track?

Try the FIREMAN DRILL:

TUCK - gather yourself and realize where you are in the Anxiety Cycle...

9-Relief - Anger-Drugs-Addictions

Stop Remember:
"in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."

Drop Realize:
"I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Roll Extinguish The Fire:

Now Go Conquer the Mountain with your Lord and Savior!

REMEMBER: You MUST keep moving up the mountain or the anxiety cycle will catch up!!!

REMEMBER: Every morning you must be totally obsessed with Prayer and the Word.... Even if it is only 5 min. Use the I Phone to your advantage!!

REMEMBER: "in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."
Romans 8
