integrity -- do you have it?

Preaching on Psalm 101 has both convicted and consecrated my heart before the LORD.

Psalm 101:2 — I will give heed to the blameless way. When will You come to me? I will walk within my house in the integrity of my heart.
(אַשְׂכִּ֤ילָה׀ בְּדֶ֬רֶךְ תָּמִ֗ים מָ֭תַי תָּב֣וֹא אֵלָ֑י אֶתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ בְּתָם־לְ֜בָבִ֗י בְּקֶ֣רֶב בֵּיתִֽי׃)

Chuck Swindoll gives 7 questions for you to take inventory of your spiritual integrity:

1. Have you been with a woman anywhere this past week that might be seen as compromising?
2. Have any of your financial dealings lacked integrity?
3. Have you exposed yourself to any sexually explicit material?
4. Have you spent adequate time in Bible study and prayer?
5. Have you given priority time to your family?
6. Have you fulfilled the mandates of your calling?
7. Have you just lied to me?
