I marvel at the integrity of the early Christians. But I also have seen good examples of integrity myself.

One man who demonstrated integrity throughout his life was my dad. I learned many things from his example, including these two: (1) play by the rules and (2) honor your commitments.

This week's Bible passage: Proverbs 2:1-8
