Hi everybody, welcome to Your Move where we help you make better decisions and live with fewer regrets.

0:06.0

I'm Andy Stanley and I'll be your guide. Did you know it is possible to be good without doing any good, without doing anybody any good?

0:13.0

And that's not good because then you'll be good for nothing and you'll be good for nobody and you want to be better than that.

0:19.0

Today I'll tell you how right here on Your Move.

0:22.0

Here are a few thoughts or questions to kind of get our head into game today as we wrap up our series.

0:31.0

It is possible and this is kind of strange to even think about but it is possible to stay out of trouble and do nothing for someone who is having trouble.

0:43.0

It is possible to be financially responsible and selfish. It is possible to be self-controlled and judgmental.

0:54.0

It is even possible to be careful personally and uncaring. It is possible to be blameless and un-sympathetic.

1:05.0

It is possible to keep your hands clean without offering anyone else a hand in summary. It is possible to be good without doing any good.

1:19.0

So today we're wrapping up our series, Your Integrity, Our World, Your Integrity, Our World.

1:24.0

And if you've been with us throughout this series we have a working definition for the term integrity.

1:28.0

We said that integrity is essentially doing what you ought to do even if it costs you.

1:35.0

1:43.0

Again our actions may not be consistent but our reactions are very consistent.

1:49.0

Which in fact points to as we said throughout the series our reactions point to an ought to that we hold others accountable to and ought to that we didn't create because we hold them accountable to it.

2:00.0

And an ought to that for some reason we can't seem to shake.

2:04.0

And then we've said this that when you don't do what you ought to it always costs somebody around you that a lack of personal integrity always impacts, negatively impacts some other persons.

2:16.0

That the consequences, the consequences or the tension that's created when you have a breach of integrity the consequences are always passed along to somebody else that the consequences are transferred so to speak.

2:28.0

And thus our title, Your Integrity, Our World, My Integrity, Our World, My Integrity, impacts our world and Your Integrity, impacts our world as well.

2:38.0

Then we had an anchor verse from Proverbs, I have encouraged you to memorize Proverbs 11-3, the integrity of the upright will guide them but the crookedness or the bentness of the treacherous will ultimately destroy them, that people of integrity are guided by their integrity.

2:56.0

And that's where we've kind of left off in the series.

2:59.0

So I want to wrap this up, I want to take this one step further because for Jesus followers in particular there is much more to this.
