My mind mulls over our church's new Directional Statement as I prepare for our Annual Meeting tonight and preach on the subject this coming Sunday. The first point of our statement declares that as a Church we are committed to Biblical Integrity.
We declare that we believe what the Bible teaches as truth. We should not only get to know that truth, but live it out in our daily lives. Truth and life need to be integrated. In today's world many question whether we can ever know truth. Still others have no apparent connection between what they claim as truth they believe and how they live their lives.

Truth has perished; it has vanished from their lips.
Jeremiah 7:28
Today, if only you would hear his voice,
Do not harden your hearts...
Do not harden your hearts...
Psalm 95:7-8
Our challenge today is to first accept God's Word as truth. Then we need to live that truth. And God is faithful - absolutely!
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.
James 1:22
