Why in the heck would I do that?  Because it was brought to my attention that putting up notes verbatim from the workbook for everyone to see might violate copyright laws.  (I contacted a leader from Catalyst to check about it later and, sure enough, it is copyrighted).

Simply put…I want to live a life of integrity.  In all honesty, what I did may not seem like a big deal, but I don’t want anyone to have a legitimate reason to question my integrity.  I have made my share of stupid decisions in the past, but I’ve resolved to live my life at a higher standard.

Lots of Christians, and maybe even you, don’t seem to care about integrity even in the small issues.  Countless churches (and admittedly, I myself in the past) have blatantly ignored the law when it comes to videos, music, and everything else out there. Will it cost more money and time to get the right permissions?  Absolutely.  Should you stop downloading illegal music and software?  Of course.

How can we lead people to a pure and better life if we aren’t living “above reproach” ourselves?

Until you start living life with integrity, don’t expect anyone else to follow your lead.

What do you think?
