A characteristic that goes hand in hand with integrity is accountability. Accountability is being responsible for justifying or explaining one’s actions. Michael Rowell

When we display integrity in our lives, others will understand that with us ‘what you see is what you get’. As a result, they are more open to us. When people can see that we are consistent in what we stand for, how we treat people, what our priorities are and what we are motivated by, then we can more likely influence them in a positive manner and they have the necessary information to choose to follow us or not. Michael Rowell

Professor Ronald Burke, who spent forty years studying behaviour in the workplace, published a study titled, ‘Why Leaders Fail: Exploring the Dark Side’ in the International Journal of Manpower. He demonstrated that more leaders fail because of character-related, integrity issues, such as arrogance, selfishness and betrayal of trust, than from a lack of talent or skills. Michael Rowell

Charisma and personality go skin deep, but integrity goes right to the core of who we are. Michael Rowell

Where shepherds and teachers are compromising the Word for the sake of worldly approval, where they are belittling their sheep and defaming the Church for the applause of the important and influential, we should not reward them by remaining in their churches or buying their books. Megan Basham

I discovered how many parents out there were desperate to hear testimonies like mine. My word for them: Keep praying, and let any help or counsel you offer adhere to Scripture, not culture. Our God is still a God who brings dead girls to life. Megan Basham

It was only when I encountered teaching that challenged me not to focus on how I had been wronged, but to repent for the wrongs I had committed, that I was able to find lasting victory. Megan Basham

The reason for so much compromise is obvious. Today, this is the point of pain where orthodoxy falls away for those who are not truly committed to picking up their cross. Megan Basham
