People with integrity do the right thing simply because they know they ought to. This “ought to” is inescapable and holds you accountable; but what is this “ought to” connected to?

Your Move with Andy Stanley | Your Integrity Our World Part 1 | January 12, 2022
- ...
- 00:00:00.633 --> 00:00:00.351
- Andy Stanley: Hi, everybody, welcome to "Your Move," where we
- 00:00:00.785 --> 00:00:02.353
- help you make better decisions and live with fewer regrets.
- 00:00:02.487 --> 00:00:04.522
- I'm Andy Stanley, and I'll be your guide.
- 00:00:04.656 --> 00:00:05.990
- Quick question: Have you ever lied to someone so they won't
- 00:00:06.124 --> 00:00:08.893
- think you're a liar?
- 00:00:09.027 --> 00:00:10.295
- Isn't that strange?
- 00:00:10.428 --> 00:00:11.629
- Sometimes we would rather look good than actually be good, and
- 00:00:11.729 --> 00:00:14.799
- that's not good, so we're gonna talk about it
- 00:00:14.933 --> 00:00:16.534
- right here on "Your Move."
- 00:00:16.668 --> 00:00:19.137
- Andy Stanley: Today, we actually begin a brand-new series
- 00:00:23.108 --> 00:00:25.443
- entitled "Your integrity, Our World," "Your Integrity, Our
- 00:00:25.510 --> 00:00:29.180
- World," and I will explain the title in just a minute, and next
- 00:00:29.180 --> 00:00:32.817
- week I'm gonna give you our official definition for
- 00:00:32.817 --> 00:00:35.086
- "integrity" for this series.
- 00:00:35.086 --> 00:00:37.088
- But to just get us started, we kinda know what integrity
- 00:00:37.088 --> 00:00:39.691
- is, right?
- 00:00:39.691 --> 00:00:41.025
- I mean, integrity is the resolve and, really, the courage, as
- 00:00:41.025 --> 00:00:43.394
- we're gonna discover, it's the resolve and the courage
- 00:00:43.394 --> 00:00:45.029
- to do the right and noble thing just because it's
- 00:00:45.029 --> 00:00:48.199
- the right and noble thing.
- 00:00:48.199 --> 00:00:50.335
- You just do the right and noble thing because it's the right and
- 00:00:50.335 --> 00:00:52.403
- noble thing when it benefits you and you do it when it costs you
- 00:00:52.403 --> 00:00:55.773
- because people of integrity just do the right thing because it's
- 00:00:55.773 --> 00:00:58.877
- the right thing.
- 00:00:58.877 --> 00:01:00.245
- That is the reward, even when it costs you--
- 00:01:00.245 --> 00:01:03.348
- actually, especially when it costs you.
- 00:01:03.348 --> 00:01:05.350
- Those are the people that we cheer for, those are the heroes,
- 00:01:05.350 --> 00:01:07.352
- the people that do the right thing even when it costs them,
- 00:01:07.352 --> 00:01:09.387
- even when there was a less costly alternative.
- 00:01:09.387 --> 00:01:14.159
- You may be familiar, you probably are, with this phrase,
- 00:01:14.225 --> 00:01:16.594
- structural integrity, structural integrity.
- 00:01:16.594 --> 00:01:19.130
- Structural integrity is a building science phrase, and
- 00:01:20.298 --> 00:01:24.002
- here's the technical definition, "The ability of a structure to
- 00:01:24.002 --> 00:01:27.705
- withstand its intended load without failing due to fracture
- 00:01:27.705 --> 00:01:32.076
- or fatigue."
- 00:01:32.076 --> 00:01:33.545
- And unfortunately, we have seen what happens when a structure is
- 00:01:33.545 --> 00:01:37.081
- cracked and is fatigued and is not able to bear the load it was
- 00:01:37.081 --> 00:01:40.418
- supposed to bear.
- 00:01:40.418 --> 00:01:41.886
- We've seen the devastation when structural integrity
- 00:01:41.886 --> 00:01:44.822
- is compromised.
- 00:01:44.889 --> 00:01:46.224
- And what we've discovered and what you know and what you've
- 00:01:46.224 --> 00:01:48.059
- seen throughout your life in some capacity is that the damage
- 00:01:48.059 --> 00:01:51.629
- isn't isolated.
- 00:01:51.629 --> 00:01:52.997
- The damage isn't isolated to the compromised beam or the
- 00:01:52.997 --> 00:01:55.567
- compromised column, is it?
- 00:01:55.567 --> 00:01:57.335
- The entire structure is affected, because, because when
- 00:01:57.335 --> 00:02:01.706
- a load-bearing structure fails, the load is transferred.
- 00:02:01.706 --> 00:02:07.445
- When a load-bearing structure fails, the load is always
- 00:02:07.512 --> 00:02:11.616
- transferred to and potentially overloads surrounding
- 00:02:11.616 --> 00:02:14.886
- support structures.
- 00:02:14.886 --> 00:02:16.955
- The failure of one part impacts the failure of others, because
- 00:02:16.955 --> 00:02:21.092
- the stress is transferred and the load is transferred to other
- 00:02:21.092 --> 00:02:25.029
- parts of the building.
- 00:02:25.029 --> 00:02:26.864
- Now, as you would imagine and as you can guess where we're going
- 00:02:26.931 --> 00:02:30.034
- with this, the same is true for you and the same is true for me.
- 00:02:30.034 --> 00:02:33.905
- The same is true for all of us, that a failure, a failure of
- 00:02:33.972 --> 00:02:37.575
- personal integrity, a failure of personal integrity adds stress
- 00:02:37.575 --> 00:02:41.179
- to the persons around us, right?
- 00:02:41.179 --> 00:02:43.881
- I mean, this isn't new but this is easy to overlook, especially
- 00:02:43.881 --> 00:02:46.618
- when we're being tempted to sacrifice our integrity because
- 00:02:46.618 --> 00:02:49.587
- not to is gonna cost us something and it just seems too
- 00:02:49.587 --> 00:02:52.290
- difficult to tell the truth and too costly to do the
- 00:02:52.290 --> 00:02:55.193
- right thing.
- 00:02:55.193 --> 00:02:56.527
- But a personal failure of integrity for everybody, no
- 00:02:56.527 --> 00:02:59.897
- matter how old you are, you transfer the stress to the
- 00:02:59.897 --> 00:03:04.102
- people closest to you and oftentimes the people you love
- 00:03:04.102 --> 00:03:07.171
- the most.
- 00:03:07.605 --> 00:03:08.973
- The failure of integrity of one family member, what happens?
- 00:03:08.973 --> 00:03:10.908
- It transfers the stress to other members of the family.
- 00:03:10.908 --> 00:03:13.911
- At companies we've seen this, entire companies have imploded
- 00:03:13.911 --> 00:03:17.081
- because of the decision of a CEO or a leadership team, where
- 00:03:17.148 --> 00:03:20.051
- hundreds and hundreds of people lose their job, right?
- 00:03:20.051 --> 00:03:24.889
- The point is simply this: the load, we just can't kid
- 00:03:24.889 --> 00:03:27.525
- ourselves, the load is always, always, always
- 00:03:27.525 --> 00:03:32.530
- transferred; that the consequences are never isolated;
- 00:03:32.530 --> 00:03:37.135
- that your personal failure of integrity impacts some
- 00:03:37.201 --> 00:03:41.272
- other persons.
- 00:03:41.272 --> 00:03:42.607
- But your integrity, when you maintain your integrity, when we
- 00:03:42.607 --> 00:03:46.778
- maintain our integrity, when I maintain my integrity, it also
- 00:03:46.778 --> 00:03:50.248
- impacts some other persons as well.
- 00:03:50.248 --> 00:03:52.183
- So this is a really-really-really big deal.
- 00:03:52.183 --> 00:03:55.053
- In fact, when we think about our community and our nation, our
- 00:03:55.053 --> 00:03:57.622
- world, our families, I don't know of anything that's more
- 00:03:57.622 --> 00:04:00.725
- important, corporately, nationally.
- 00:04:00.725 --> 00:04:03.127
- Thus our title, "Your Integrity, Our World."
- 00:04:03.194 --> 00:04:07.098
- My integrity, our world; your integrity, your family, your
- 00:04:07.098 --> 00:04:12.003
- community; my integrity, my family, my world.
- 00:04:12.003 --> 00:04:17.442
- This is one of the reasons why integrity is actually a
- 00:04:17.508 --> 00:04:21.446
- universal expectation, and this is very interesting, and this is
- 00:04:21.446 --> 00:04:24.182
- what makes a hypocrite out of all of us.
- 00:04:24.182 --> 00:04:26.084
- We're gonna talk about that I think in week three, so don't
- 00:04:26.084 --> 00:04:28.019
- miss week three 'cause everybody loves to be called a hypocrite.
- 00:04:28.019 --> 00:04:30.355
- If it's been a while, don't miss week three, right?
- 00:04:30.355 --> 00:04:32.190
- Here's the thing, we all--we may opt for loopholes.
- 00:04:32.256 --> 00:04:35.760
- In other words, I might look for a work-around or a loophole so I
- 00:04:35.760 --> 00:04:38.162
- don't have to tell the whole truth or so I don't have to be
- 00:04:38.162 --> 00:04:40.064
- completely transparent or so that, you know, I'm not
- 00:04:40.064 --> 00:04:42.233
- completely honest.
- 00:04:42.233 --> 00:04:43.568
- We might look for loopholes and we might make excuses when it
- 00:04:43.568 --> 00:04:46.471
- comes to our personal decisions but here's what I know about
- 00:04:46.471 --> 00:04:48.673
- you, we've never met.
- 00:04:48.673 --> 00:04:50.007
- You expect integrity from the people closest to you and people
- 00:04:50.007 --> 00:04:52.910
- around you.
- 00:04:52.910 --> 00:04:54.245
- You expect it from your leaders, your preachers and your
- 00:04:54.245 --> 00:04:55.913
- teachers, your spouse, your boss, your employees.
- 00:04:55.913 --> 00:04:58.282
- You expect integrity from the people around you whether you're
- 00:04:58.349 --> 00:05:01.352
- a person of integrity or not.
- 00:05:01.352 --> 00:05:03.821
- Or, just to be sort of crass, thieves don't expect to be
- 00:05:03.888 --> 00:05:07.759
- stolen from, they're like, "What, you stole from me?"
- 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.130
- Well, yeah.
- 00:05:12.130 --> 00:05:13.464
- "Well, I didn't expect that." Well, you do it.
- 00:05:13.464 --> 00:05:15.466
- "Doesn't matter what I do, I did not expect that
- 00:05:15.466 --> 00:05:17.168
- from you," right?
- 00:05:17.168 --> 00:05:19.003
- Now, I know--this doesn't apply to any of you, but those
- 00:05:19.003 --> 00:05:21.606
- employees that waste time at work, not us, but there are,
- 00:05:21.606 --> 00:05:25.576
- this happens, you know, this happens,
- 00:05:25.576 --> 00:05:27.011
- there are people who just, you know, they shop online at work,
- 00:05:27.011 --> 00:05:29.447
- they do all kind of stuff, it's crazy.
- 00:05:29.447 --> 00:05:31.282
- Yeah, they waste--they're eating up their employer's resources
- 00:05:31.282 --> 00:05:33.751
- wasting time at work but--and they never tell their
- 00:05:33.751 --> 00:05:36.387
- employer, right?
- 00:05:36.387 --> 00:05:38.055
- But when the paycheck comes out, when the hours are totaled up,
- 00:05:38.122 --> 00:05:40.691
- when they get their check every couple of weeks, they expect for
- 00:05:40.691 --> 00:05:44.862
- the employer to pay them exactly what they agreed to.
- 00:05:44.862 --> 00:05:47.298
- I mean, I may cheat you at work, but by golly, if I think you've
- 00:05:47.298 --> 00:05:51.002
- deducted something from my paycheck or you didn't count
- 00:05:51.002 --> 00:05:53.204
- hours, I am in your face, why?
- 00:05:53.204 --> 00:05:57.175
- Because regardless of our personal integrity, regardless
- 00:05:57.175 --> 00:05:59.143
- of our consistency, it's a universal expectation, it's an
- 00:05:59.143 --> 00:06:02.880
- inescapable expectation.
- 00:06:02.880 --> 00:06:06.017
- And all of that brings us to something
- 00:06:06.083 --> 00:06:08.953
- extraordinarily significant.
- 00:06:08.953 --> 00:06:11.088
- Integrity, the whole idea of integrity, assumes an "ought to"
- 00:06:11.155 --> 00:06:16.894
- we readily appeal to that we assume everyone around us is
- 00:06:16.961 --> 00:06:21.399
- accountable to.
- 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:22.767
- Let me read that again, that integrity assumes--the fact
- 00:06:22.767 --> 00:06:26.437
- that you just expect people to tell you the truth, they signed
- 00:06:26.437 --> 00:06:29.941
- the contract, they're gonna follow through.
- 00:06:29.941 --> 00:06:32.176
- Integrity assumes an ought to, "You just ought to do that,"
- 00:06:32.243 --> 00:06:35.813
- that we readily appeal to, "You didn't do what you ought to do,
- 00:06:35.880 --> 00:06:38.516
- we need to talk about that," that we assume everybody around
- 00:06:38.516 --> 00:06:41.552
- us is accountable to, "You lied to me, you lied to me."
- 00:06:41.552 --> 00:06:47.291
- Implication: even though we've never discussed the
- 00:06:47.291 --> 00:06:49.193
- pros and cons of lying, I just assumed you know you're
- 00:06:49.193 --> 00:06:51.395
- not supposed to lie.
- 00:06:51.395 --> 00:06:52.830
- I mean, we've never talked about it, we never sat down before we
- 00:06:52.830 --> 00:06:55.399
- signed a contract and said, "Okay, before we go through this
- 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:57.635
- contract, let's talk about what's right and what's wrong."
- 00:06:57.635 --> 00:07:00.972
- You don't do that before you sign a contract, you don't do
- 00:07:01.038 --> 00:07:02.874
- that before you enter into a relationship because you just,
- 00:07:02.874 --> 00:07:05.510
- you just assume people know what they ought to do and what they
- 00:07:05.576 --> 00:07:08.479
- ought not to do, and they're assuming the same thing
- 00:07:08.479 --> 00:07:10.748
- about you.
- 00:07:11.616 --> 00:07:12.984
- "You lied to me, you lied to me."
- 00:07:12.984 --> 00:07:15.052
- Well, yeah, but we never talked about whether lying is right
- 00:07:15.052 --> 00:07:17.788
- or wrong.
- 00:07:17.788 --> 00:07:19.123
- "Well, I just assumed you know you're not supposed to lie."
- 00:07:19.123 --> 00:07:20.992
- Now, I didn't decide lying is wrong and you didn't decide
- 00:07:21.058 --> 00:07:24.328
- lying is wrong, everybody just knows, don't they?
- 00:07:24.328 --> 00:07:27.465
- I mean, here's something you rarely hear.
- 00:07:27.532 --> 00:07:29.100
- I hope you've never heard this, and I'm not suggesting you say
- 00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:32.003
- this, but here's something we rarely hear.
- 00:07:32.003 --> 00:07:33.704
- "Yes, I lied to you. So what?"
- 00:07:33.771 --> 00:07:36.941
- Like, "Well, why are you making such a big deal out of this?"
- 00:07:36.941 --> 00:07:39.911
- But if there is no objective, outside of us, sense of justice,
- 00:07:39.977 --> 00:07:45.650
- injustice, right or wrong,
- 00:07:45.650 --> 00:07:47.251
- think about this: Why make an excuse for our behavior?
- 00:07:47.318 --> 00:07:52.056
- I cheated. Yeah, I cheated, so what?
- 00:07:52.123 --> 00:07:54.825
- What's the big deal? Yeah, I lied to you, yeah.
- 00:07:54.825 --> 00:07:57.528
- Well, why are you making such a big deal out of that?
- 00:07:57.528 --> 00:07:59.564
- What we usually hear is, "I didn't lie, I didn't lie."
- 00:07:59.564 --> 00:08:02.967
- Implication: Lying is wrong, I didn't lie.
- 00:08:03.034 --> 00:08:05.436
- So, we're gonna talk about this next time, we lie about lying so
- 00:08:05.503 --> 00:08:12.610
- people won't think we're liars.
- 00:08:12.610 --> 00:08:14.679
- Let me go over that again.
- 00:08:14.745 --> 00:08:16.113
- We lie about lying because we don't want people to think we're
- 00:08:16.113 --> 00:08:20.117
- liars because we know there's something wrong with being a
- 00:08:20.117 --> 00:08:22.987
- liar even though we did it anyway.
- 00:08:22.987 --> 00:08:24.755
- Somehow, we just, we just know, right?
- 00:08:24.755 --> 00:08:29.093
- Now, what we might hear, what probably all of us have said at
- 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:32.530
- one point, is, "Now, the reason I lied is..."
- 00:08:32.530 --> 00:08:35.466
- Let me tell you why I lied.
- 00:08:35.466 --> 00:08:37.668
- But why not just decide lying's not wrong, it'd be a lot easier.
- 00:08:37.735 --> 00:08:40.805
- Then you don't have to make excuses, you go, "Yeah, I lied,
- 00:08:40.805 --> 00:08:42.440
- yeah, I cheated, yeah, I was unfaithful, why are we even
- 00:08:42.440 --> 00:08:45.042
- talking about this?"
- 00:08:45.042 --> 00:08:46.377
- I mean, come on.
- 00:08:46.377 --> 00:08:47.745
- You're holding me to an account, you're holding me accountable to
- 00:08:47.745 --> 00:08:50.948
- a standard you just made up.
- 00:08:50.948 --> 00:08:52.316
- Somewhere along the way you just decided lying's wrong,
- 00:08:52.316 --> 00:08:54.151
- shooting's wrongs, unfaithfulness is wrong, you
- 00:08:54.151 --> 00:08:55.786
- just made that up, that's your standard, that's your truth,
- 00:08:55.786 --> 00:08:58.122
- that's not my truth.
- 00:08:58.122 --> 00:08:59.457
- You can't hold me accountable to a list of things you just
- 00:08:59.457 --> 00:09:02.226
- made up.
- 00:09:02.226 --> 00:09:03.561
- Besides that, we never went over them, we never sat down and we
- 00:09:03.561 --> 00:09:06.897
- never even covered this stuff so you have no right, you have no
- 00:09:06.897 --> 00:09:11.168
- right to hold me accountable to some standard of right and
- 00:09:11.168 --> 00:09:14.271
- wrong, just and unjust, that you just made up any more than I
- 00:09:14.271 --> 00:09:18.009
- have a right to hold you to my standard.
- 00:09:18.009 --> 00:09:21.278
- But we know better, it's inescapable, we just
- 00:09:23.848 --> 00:09:28.185
- know better.
- 00:09:28.185 --> 00:09:29.520
- I mean, we may throw those things out as excuses from time
- 00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:31.389
- to time but somehow we just know better because, as we're going
- 00:09:31.389 --> 00:09:36.894
- to see, there is an ought to that stands outside of you and
- 00:09:36.894 --> 00:09:43.267
- over you that didn't originate with you.
- 00:09:43.334 --> 00:09:46.637
- It just is, there is an ought to.
- 00:09:46.704 --> 00:09:49.140
- And again, it's not applied universally the same way in
- 00:09:49.140 --> 00:09:51.942
- every culture and every, you know, season or in every
- 00:09:51.942 --> 00:09:55.379
- generation but there's a general sense of ought to that stands
- 00:09:55.446 --> 00:09:59.784
- outside of you, you did not make it up, and over you that didn't
- 00:09:59.784 --> 00:10:04.221
- originate with you or me, and we can't escape it.
- 00:10:04.221 --> 00:10:06.957
- Now, here's--again, the hypocrisy is just amazing, we've
- 00:10:07.024 --> 00:10:12.229
- all done this.
- 00:10:13.931 --> 00:10:15.266
- We might deny the existence of ought to with our actions
- 00:10:15.266 --> 00:10:18.869
- because we don't always do what we ought to do, right?
- 00:10:18.869 --> 00:10:21.806
- We may deny this universal sense of ought to with our personal
- 00:10:21.806 --> 00:10:25.009
- decisions, "Because I know I ought to but I'm not gonna do
- 00:10:25.009 --> 00:10:27.244
- what I ought to and I know I ought not do that
- 00:10:27.244 --> 00:10:29.213
- but I'm gonna do it anyway."
- 00:10:29.213 --> 00:10:30.548
- So we may kinda dismiss and deny that there's some universal
- 00:10:30.548 --> 00:10:34.018
- sense of ought to with our actions, but never with
- 00:10:34.018 --> 00:10:39.824
- our reactions.
- 00:10:39.824 --> 00:10:41.892
- We react to ought to whenever someone doesn't do what they
- 00:10:41.959 --> 00:10:47.565
- ought to and it hurts us or it hurts someone that we love.
- 00:10:47.565 --> 00:10:53.237
- Now, so what does all this have to do with integrity?
- 00:10:53.304 --> 00:10:56.574
- Everything, here's what it has to do with it.
- 00:10:56.574 --> 00:10:58.743
- If, if there is no ought to that stands outside of you and holds
- 00:10:58.809 --> 00:11:06.283
- sway over you, in other words, if that doesn't even exist and
- 00:11:06.283 --> 00:11:10.221
- if you're someone who just believes that, you know, the
- 00:11:10.221 --> 00:11:12.757
- material world is all there is and nature's all that is--I
- 00:11:12.757 --> 00:11:15.126
- understand that, you have good reason, there's good arguments
- 00:11:15.126 --> 00:11:17.862
- to be made for that.
- 00:11:17.862 --> 00:11:19.196
- But if that's your worldview, if there is no ought to that stands
- 00:11:19.196 --> 00:11:24.368
- outside of you, that holds sway over you, that holds you to some
- 00:11:24.368 --> 00:11:29.240
- extent accountable, then integrity, let's just not kid
- 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.676
- ourselves, integrity is nothing more than a tool that you use to
- 00:11:32.676 --> 00:11:37.948
- get your way until it gets in the way, and then we just throw
- 00:11:37.948 --> 00:11:42.153
- it away and we just do whatever we want to.
- 00:11:42.153 --> 00:11:45.156
- So, determining what's at the bottom or the foundation of
- 00:11:45.222 --> 00:11:48.626
- integrity, if there's an anchor at all, what it's built on has
- 00:11:48.626 --> 00:11:51.796
- huge ramifications because, if integrity, if integrity is not
- 00:11:51.796 --> 00:11:55.633
- connected to anything, if it's not supported by anything that
- 00:11:55.633 --> 00:11:59.303
- actually exists, if it's not grounded in anything other than
- 00:11:59.303 --> 00:12:02.473
- our opinion and if it's not grounded specifically, as we're
- 00:12:02.473 --> 00:12:05.009
- gonna see, in the divine, then again, let's not kid ourselves,
- 00:12:05.009 --> 00:12:09.914
- integrity, integrity, what's right and wrong, ought, ought
- 00:12:09.980 --> 00:12:13.651
- not, just, unjust, noble, virtuous, it's fluid, right?
- 00:12:13.651 --> 00:12:19.857
- It's fluid, it will be defined and redefined by personal and
- 00:12:19.857 --> 00:12:23.327
- public opinion.
- 00:12:23.327 --> 00:12:25.596
- It's just gonna be defined and redefined by majority rule.
- 00:12:25.663 --> 00:12:28.065
- Okay, now let me ask you this question, and I'm gonna let you
- 00:12:28.065 --> 00:12:30.434
- vote on this a minute.
- 00:12:30.434 --> 00:12:31.802
- And don't leave, okay?
- 00:12:32.603 --> 00:12:34.338
- Just to make a point, should women be allowed to vote?
- 00:12:37.208 --> 00:12:40.911
- Should they? Let's just vote, okay?
- 00:12:43.948 --> 00:12:46.650
- If you think women should be allowed to vote, let's just--
- 00:12:46.650 --> 00:12:48.752
- raise of hands, do you think women should--
- 00:12:48.819 --> 00:12:50.988
- This is not a trick question, guys, it's like--
- 00:12:50.988 --> 00:12:53.557
- yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 00:12:53.557 --> 00:12:56.460
- But once upon a time, the majority said, "No," and then
- 00:12:56.460 --> 00:13:00.331
- the majority said, "Yes."
- 00:13:00.331 --> 00:13:01.699
- And if there's nothing more to that topic than the majority,
- 00:13:03.133 --> 00:13:07.838
- where does that leave us?
- 00:13:07.905 --> 00:13:09.273
- Somebody says, "What about the constitution?"
- 00:13:09.273 --> 00:13:10.608
- Well, that's another good illustration.
- 00:13:10.608 --> 00:13:12.576
- Are the rights--again, you don't have to answer this out loud,
- 00:13:12.643 --> 00:13:14.845
- just to get us thinking.
- 00:13:14.845 --> 00:13:16.213
- Are the rights guaranteed by our constitution, are they
- 00:13:16.213 --> 00:13:19.416
- anchored to anything?
- 00:13:19.483 --> 00:13:20.818
- Or do we just get to make this stuff up until it's inconvenient
- 00:13:20.818 --> 00:13:24.188
- and we decide we wanna do something else?
- 00:13:24.188 --> 00:13:27.725
- So, if there's no ought and ought not that stands outside of
- 00:13:27.791 --> 00:13:32.096
- us and holds sway over us, then right and wrong, just and
- 00:13:32.096 --> 00:13:35.199
- unjust, it's just determined by majority rule in the case of
- 00:13:35.199 --> 00:13:40.371
- a democracy.
- 00:13:40.371 --> 00:13:41.939
- But it's determined by minority rule in the case of a
- 00:13:42.006 --> 00:13:45.242
- dictatorship or a fascist regime or theocracy; people with the
- 00:13:45.242 --> 00:13:49.546
- power, they just make stuff up, they decide what's right, what's
- 00:13:49.546 --> 00:13:54.018
- wrong, what's moral, what's immoral.
- 00:13:54.018 --> 00:13:56.553
- But it's even worse than that, okay?
- 00:13:56.620 --> 00:14:00.157
- It's even worse than that.
- 00:14:00.157 --> 00:14:01.492
- And you're thinking, "How could it be worse than that?"
- 00:14:01.492 --> 00:14:02.960
- In fact, just say, "How could it be worst than that?"
- 00:14:02.960 --> 00:14:05.062
- Yeah, I know, thanks for asking.
- 00:14:05.062 --> 00:14:06.397
- How could it possibly--I mean, this is terrible and here's why,
- 00:14:06.397 --> 00:14:09.934
- because if there is no divine law giver, if all there is is
- 00:14:09.934 --> 00:14:14.638
- what we see, and what you see is what you get and that's it, then
- 00:14:14.638 --> 00:14:19.043
- we can't even hold the people in power responsible, we can't
- 00:14:19.109 --> 00:14:25.182
- judge them because there's no objective standard by which to
- 00:14:25.182 --> 00:14:29.420
- judge them.
- 00:14:29.420 --> 00:14:30.788
- I'm just judging them based on my opinion, my truth, my life
- 00:14:30.788 --> 00:14:35.526
- experience, the way I was raised.
- 00:14:35.526 --> 00:14:37.995
- You know, I'm just holding them to an account, I'm holding them
- 00:14:38.062 --> 00:14:41.265
- accountable to a standard they never subscribed to to begin
- 00:14:41.265 --> 00:14:44.835
- with and I don't want them holding me accountable to a, you
- 00:14:44.835 --> 00:14:48.105
- know, a standard that I never subscribed to to begin with
- 00:14:48.105 --> 00:14:50.507
- either so we're at a stalemate.
- 00:14:50.507 --> 00:14:53.177
- And it's even worse than that because, if there's no objective
- 00:14:53.243 --> 00:14:55.546
- standard by which to judge, if if all there is is matter, they
- 00:14:55.546 --> 00:15:01.552
- actually had no choice in the matter.
- 00:15:01.552 --> 00:15:04.688
- Because matter doesn't decide, matter just is.
- 00:15:05.756 --> 00:15:11.795
- Choices, decisions require free will.
- 00:15:13.030 --> 00:15:17.267
- And in a purely, you know this, in a purely materialistic world,
- 00:15:17.334 --> 00:15:21.238
- there's no free will.
- 00:15:21.305 --> 00:15:24.008
- I mean, free will is an illusion, it's a trick of
- 00:15:24.008 --> 00:15:27.111
- evolution, it's not actual, it's not real.
- 00:15:27.111 --> 00:15:29.046
- We experience decision-making but we're not actually making
- 00:15:29.046 --> 00:15:32.416
- decisions because of physics and chemistry, natural law, it can't
- 00:15:32.416 --> 00:15:36.286
- decide anything, it just, it just is.
- 00:15:36.286 --> 00:15:41.859
- So at the end of the day, the people who see the world
- 00:15:41.925 --> 00:15:45.729
- differently than us, we can't judge them, we're holding them
- 00:15:45.729 --> 00:15:47.564
- accountable to something we just made up, unless there's an ought
- 00:15:47.564 --> 00:15:51.502
- to that we're all accountable to that holds sway over us and
- 00:15:51.502 --> 00:15:57.541
- judges us.
- 00:15:58.308 --> 00:15:59.777
- If that doesn't exist, in the end, it really is just survival
- 00:15:59.843 --> 00:16:03.313
- of the fittest, evolution by natural de-selection.
- 00:16:03.313 --> 00:16:10.154
- If there is no divine and if there is no divine lawgiver,
- 00:16:10.154 --> 00:16:14.625
- it's just self-serving opinion, it's just majority rule, and
- 00:16:14.625 --> 00:16:19.696
- integrity just becomes a useful tool to help other people feel
- 00:16:19.696 --> 00:16:23.634
- guilty and to hold them accountable and to meet our
- 00:16:23.634 --> 00:16:25.436
- expectations until it's not.
- 00:16:25.436 --> 00:16:28.138
- And then at the end, ought to is just up to you, ought to is just
- 00:16:28.138 --> 00:16:34.778
- up to me.
- 00:16:34.778 --> 00:16:36.914
- But we know better, we know better, we know better.
- 00:16:36.980 --> 00:16:44.988
- Even if you aren't sure about a personal God, you know better.
- 00:16:44.988 --> 00:16:49.159
- Even if you walked away from God, how many of you've read all
- 00:16:49.226 --> 00:16:52.729
- the books?
- 00:16:52.729 --> 00:16:54.131
- In your personal experience day to day, before this day is out,
- 00:16:54.131 --> 00:16:57.768
- you know better, there is something outside of you that's
- 00:16:57.835 --> 00:17:02.673
- bearing down on you.
- 00:17:02.673 --> 00:17:05.909
- And here's the amazing thing, and this is what I don't think I
- 00:17:05.976 --> 00:17:10.013
- can convince all of you of today, but if you'll hang with
- 00:17:10.013 --> 00:17:12.249
- us for the next few weeks I hope someone or something will
- 00:17:12.249 --> 00:17:15.819
- convince you.
- 00:17:15.819 --> 00:17:17.154
- The moment, this is so amazing to me, the moment that we
- 00:17:17.154 --> 00:17:21.225
- attempt to justify a behavior in our minds--
- 00:17:21.225 --> 00:17:23.494
- okay, think about this week, we're gonna have one of these
- 00:17:23.494 --> 00:17:25.696
- before the day's over--the moment, the moment you try to
- 00:17:25.696 --> 00:17:29.533
- justify a behavior in your mind,
- 00:17:29.533 --> 00:17:31.335
- "I shouldn't but I'm going to, I should not tell her that, I'm
- 00:17:31.401 --> 00:17:34.605
- gonna tell her that anyway, you know, I shouldn't lie, I should
- 00:17:34.605 --> 00:17:37.474
- show them, I should but I'm not, I shouldn't but I am."
- 00:17:37.474 --> 00:17:39.943
- The moment--as soon as you enter in to that internal argument
- 00:17:39.943 --> 00:17:45.149
- with yourself, you acknowledge the divine whether you believe
- 00:17:45.149 --> 00:17:52.456
- in it or not, you acknowledge accountability to something that
- 00:17:52.456 --> 00:17:58.729
- you did not create and you can't shake.
- 00:17:58.795 --> 00:18:03.634
- Paul, the Apostle Paul, he explained it different and
- 00:18:05.936 --> 00:18:09.773
- better, and his is a lot shorter so I'm just gonna read you his.
- 00:18:09.773 --> 00:18:13.844
- But, you know, I get 30 minutes, so I just couldn't read this
- 00:18:13.844 --> 00:18:16.313
- and dismiss.
- 00:18:16.313 --> 00:18:17.681
- Okay, but I will tell you, this is better, and he's
- 00:18:17.681 --> 00:18:20.050
- writing to Judean and Galilean Jesus followers.
- 00:18:20.050 --> 00:18:25.522
- They're new Christians, sons and daughters of Abraham, who were
- 00:18:25.522 --> 00:18:28.859
- raised on Torah, they were raised on the law.
- 00:18:28.859 --> 00:18:31.295
- I mean, and here's something we can kind of understand if we
- 00:18:31.295 --> 00:18:34.431
- stop and think about it.
- 00:18:34.431 --> 00:18:35.766
- They're conscious, these 1st century, 2nd century too, but
- 00:18:35.766 --> 00:18:38.635
- especially these 1st century Judeans, Galileans, sons and
- 00:18:38.635 --> 00:18:43.507
- daughters of Abraham, their consciences were fine-tuned to
- 00:18:43.507 --> 00:18:48.912
- the law of Moses.
- 00:18:48.912 --> 00:18:50.547
- I mean, fine-tuned.
- 00:18:50.614 --> 00:18:51.949
- And sometimes, your conscience can be too active,
- 00:18:51.949 --> 00:18:53.951
- like, you're too sensitive to things.
- 00:18:53.951 --> 00:18:55.519
- So like 10 years, I know it can't get off on this, but like
- 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:57.754
- 10 years after the Resurrection, such a great story, 10 years
- 00:18:57.754 --> 00:19:01.525
- after the resurrection, Peter, who's been with Jesus the whole
- 00:19:01.525 --> 00:19:03.994
- time, the whole ministry, Peter gets to the door of Cornelius's
- 00:19:03.994 --> 00:19:07.631
- house, and Cornelius is a Gentile and Cornelius has
- 00:19:07.631 --> 00:19:10.901
- invited Peter over to talk about Jesus.
- 00:19:10.901 --> 00:19:13.003
- And he gets to Cornelius's house and it's like, ehhhhhh, and he
- 00:19:13.003 --> 00:19:17.808
- later says, he says, "This is the first time, the first time
- 00:19:17.808 --> 00:19:20.544
- I've ever been in a Gentile's home."
- 00:19:20.544 --> 00:19:22.112
- It's like, "What?"
- 00:19:23.146 --> 00:19:24.514
- Yeah, because their consciences was fine-tuned to the Torah and
- 00:19:24.514 --> 00:19:29.453
- to the 1st century teaching of how Torah was supposed to be
- 00:19:29.453 --> 00:19:32.356
- lived out.
- 00:19:32.356 --> 00:19:33.724
- So, when these Judeans and Galileans, sons and daughters of
- 00:19:33.724 --> 00:19:36.126
- Abraham, when they realize these Gentiles, people like most of
- 00:19:36.126 --> 00:19:39.062
- us, are beginning to worship their God and are gonna follow
- 00:19:39.062 --> 00:19:42.866
- their Messiah and embrace Jesus as their Messiah as well, they
- 00:19:42.866 --> 00:19:47.471
- were like, "Okay, wait-wait-wait, this, they, how
- 00:19:47.471 --> 00:19:50.240
- are they going to do this?
- 00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:51.608
- They don't even know Torah, okay?
- 00:19:51.608 --> 00:19:53.443
- They don't even go to synagogue, I mean, they know nothing.
- 00:19:53.443 --> 00:19:56.947
- How in the world are they gonna live a life that's pleasing to
- 00:19:56.947 --> 00:19:59.950
- God when they don't have the law?"
- 00:19:59.950 --> 00:20:02.286
- So Paul's like, "That is a great question, so here is an answer."
- 00:20:02.286 --> 00:20:06.123
- Here's what he says, "When Gentiles," talking about most of
- 00:20:06.123 --> 00:20:08.325
- us, "Who do not have the law," because they just didn't grow up
- 00:20:08.325 --> 00:20:12.562
- with it, they don't have it in their hearts, their minds, their
- 00:20:12.562 --> 00:20:14.398
- consciences aren't fine-tuned.
- 00:20:14.398 --> 00:20:16.133
- "When Gentiles, who do not have the law, do instinctively things
- 00:20:16.199 --> 00:20:20.437
- required by the law," when they, as they begin to follow Jesus
- 00:20:20.437 --> 00:20:24.775
- and they become more honest and they quit stealing, they quit
- 00:20:24.775 --> 00:20:27.144
- cheating and they quit, you know, cheating with their
- 00:20:27.144 --> 00:20:28.845
- measure and their weights they were, you know, doing in
- 00:20:28.845 --> 00:20:30.881
- the marketplace.
- 00:20:30.881 --> 00:20:32.215
- When they begin to live better, more ethical, more moral lives,
- 00:20:32.215 --> 00:20:36.320
- they--he says there's something that's intuitive, there's
- 00:20:36.386 --> 00:20:38.955
- something that their conscience begins to be more fine-tuned,
- 00:20:38.955 --> 00:20:41.291
- not to Torah, not to, you know, the law as given to the Jews.
- 00:20:41.358 --> 00:20:45.629
- He says, "But God's doing something on the inside, they
- 00:20:45.696 --> 00:20:47.731
- just know those things are wrong."
- 00:20:47.731 --> 00:20:50.167
- He says when that happens, when they're like, suddenly, you
- 00:20:50.167 --> 00:20:52.369
- know, "That didn't bother me before, but now I'm like, I'm
- 00:20:52.369 --> 00:20:54.738
- not doing that anymore."
- 00:20:54.738 --> 00:20:56.106
- Remember Zacchaeus, like he stole and stole and stole?
- 00:20:56.106 --> 00:20:57.841
- Then he meets Jesus, like, "I'm giving it all back, plus some."
- 00:20:57.908 --> 00:21:00.043
- Like, whoa, what happened?
- 00:21:00.043 --> 00:21:01.645
- What did you read?
- 00:21:01.712 --> 00:21:03.046
- "I didn't read anything, I just met Jesus, I didn't have to read
- 00:21:03.046 --> 00:21:05.048
- it, it's like suddenly my eyes are open, I see the world a
- 00:21:05.048 --> 00:21:07.784
- different way."
- 00:21:07.784 --> 00:21:09.119
- He says, Paul, when that happens, "They are," he says,
- 00:21:09.119 --> 00:21:11.555
- "They are a law for themselves, even though they don't have
- 00:21:11.555 --> 00:21:15.158
- the law."
- 00:21:15.225 --> 00:21:16.693
- They have a law, they don't have the law, they don't have Torah.
- 00:21:16.693 --> 00:21:21.498
- But where did that come from?
- 00:21:21.565 --> 00:21:22.899
- Where does this enlightenment come from?
- 00:21:22.899 --> 00:21:24.267
- Where does this sense of right and wrong that suddenly their
- 00:21:24.267 --> 00:21:26.770
- eyes are open to?
- 00:21:26.770 --> 00:21:28.438
- Paul says, "They show," he said, "I've been around, I've, you
- 00:21:28.505 --> 00:21:31.375
- know, I've been all around the Mediterranean Basin, you know,
- 00:21:31.375 --> 00:21:33.377
- inviting Gentiles to following Jesus.
- 00:21:33.377 --> 00:21:35.078
- Here's what I've discovered."
- 00:21:35.078 --> 00:21:36.446
- "They show that the requirements of the law are written on their
- 00:21:36.446 --> 00:21:39.516
- hearts," they show that the requirements of the law, not the
- 00:21:39.516 --> 00:21:43.754
- sacrificial law, the how-you-treat-other-people law,
- 00:21:43.754 --> 00:21:47.824
- "The law are written on their hearts, their consciences,"
- 00:21:47.891 --> 00:21:50.894
- their consciences are becoming, are starting to get fine-tuned
- 00:21:50.894 --> 00:21:54.297
- to the divine law of God that's for everybody.
- 00:21:54.364 --> 00:21:58.635
- Then, here's something we all experience every day, "And their
- 00:21:58.702 --> 00:22:01.671
- thoughts," this is so interesting, "And their thoughts
- 00:22:01.671 --> 00:22:03.907
- sometimes accuse them."
- 00:22:03.974 --> 00:22:05.375
- Isn't that weird?
- 00:22:06.510 --> 00:22:07.844
- It's like your body is moving in this direction because you've
- 00:22:07.844 --> 00:22:11.348
- decided what you're gonna do and your thoughts go, "Don't
- 00:22:11.348 --> 00:22:14.718
- do that."
- 00:22:14.718 --> 00:22:16.086
- It's like, wait, who's--how many of me are there?
- 00:22:16.086 --> 00:22:18.588
- Okay, I just like had a thought that conflicts with the
- 00:22:18.588 --> 00:22:21.324
- direction of my body and I'd already made up my mind.
- 00:22:21.324 --> 00:22:23.827
- So do I have two brains?
- 00:22:23.827 --> 00:22:25.162
- He says no, there's an internal tension now because they've been
- 00:22:25.162 --> 00:22:28.565
- awakened to the divine law of God, "Their thoughts accusing
- 00:22:28.565 --> 00:22:33.503
- them, at other times defending them."
- 00:22:33.503 --> 00:22:35.238
- Good job, good job, good job.
- 00:22:35.238 --> 00:22:36.740
- Yeah, you're probably not gonna get a bonus now but you did the
- 00:22:36.740 --> 00:22:38.775
- right thing, you know?
- 00:22:38.775 --> 00:22:40.277
- She's in tears, he's in tears, your kids are upstairs crying
- 00:22:40.343 --> 00:22:42.946
- but that was a conversation you needed to have, good job.
- 00:22:42.946 --> 00:22:46.750
- Gentiles, who didn't have or know the 10 Commandments, are
- 00:22:46.817 --> 00:22:50.887
- condemned by their conscience and encouraged by their
- 00:22:50.887 --> 00:22:53.890
- conscience anytime they intersected with the law of God
- 00:22:53.890 --> 00:22:57.761
- whether or not they had the official law of God.
- 00:22:57.761 --> 00:23:02.799
- So, ought to, ought to is not completely up to you and ought
- 00:23:02.866 --> 00:23:07.604
- to it's not completely up to me, there is an outside agent.
- 00:23:07.604 --> 00:23:11.641
- And this is huge, I just want you to think about it but
- 00:23:11.708 --> 00:23:14.344
- especially if you're not a Christian, or used to be or
- 00:23:14.344 --> 00:23:17.214
- rethinking it.
- 00:23:17.280 --> 00:23:18.615
- The moment, the moment we attempt to justify a behavior in
- 00:23:18.615 --> 00:23:23.687
- our minds, we acknowledge the law of God written on
- 00:23:23.687 --> 00:23:26.590
- our hearts.
- 00:23:26.590 --> 00:23:28.158
- You say, "I don't believe in God."
- 00:23:28.225 --> 00:23:29.593
- I'm not saying you should or that you do, I'm just telling
- 00:23:29.593 --> 00:23:31.328
- you, you've been wrestling with ought to your whole life and you
- 00:23:31.328 --> 00:23:34.364
- thought it was conditioned and societal conditioning and
- 00:23:34.364 --> 00:23:36.700
- certainly there are certainly some of that, right?
- 00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:39.402
- But I'm just telling you, you have experienced, and Apostle
- 00:23:39.402 --> 00:23:43.907
- Paul talks about this in other places, you have experienced the
- 00:23:43.907 --> 00:23:46.476
- divine, you have experienced an encounter with a God who loves
- 00:23:46.476 --> 00:23:52.082
- you who has written his law on your heart and you know you
- 00:23:52.082 --> 00:23:57.954
- didn't make it up and you can't escape it.
- 00:23:57.954 --> 00:24:01.825
- And you made a big-big-big bad decision and the only way to
- 00:24:01.892 --> 00:24:08.398
- assuage your guilt and your conscience is you had to start
- 00:24:08.465 --> 00:24:12.269
- making other bad decisions, right?
- 00:24:12.269 --> 00:24:13.937
- And your Heavenly Father says, "Come back, come back from the
- 00:24:15.338 --> 00:24:18.275
- ledge, come back from the brink, and I want you to wrestle with
- 00:24:18.275 --> 00:24:21.811
- this because to wrestle with your conscience is to wrestle
- 00:24:21.811 --> 00:24:24.381
- with me, because I placed my law in your heart."
- 00:24:24.381 --> 00:24:27.651
- The moment we attempt to justify behavior in our minds, we
- 00:24:27.651 --> 00:24:29.753
- acknowledge the law of God written in our hearts.
- 00:24:29.753 --> 00:24:32.422
- The rule of God, the kingdom of God, this is why I love to say
- 00:24:32.422 --> 00:24:37.827
- that everyone should consider following Jesus because Jesus
- 00:24:37.894 --> 00:24:40.864
- came to Planet Earth and he ignited and he launched and he
- 00:24:40.864 --> 00:24:44.467
- initiated the rule and the kingdom of God on earth and he
- 00:24:44.467 --> 00:24:50.040
- placed his law in our hearts.
- 00:24:50.040 --> 00:24:54.311
- And when you do the right thing, when you do the costly thing--
- 00:24:54.377 --> 00:24:58.181
- when you do the thing that costs you financially, costs you
- 00:24:58.248 --> 00:25:00.550
- relationally, costs you reputationally, costs you some
- 00:25:00.550 --> 00:25:03.253
- followers, now you're not gonna get invited back, now you're not
- 00:25:03.253 --> 00:25:05.655
- gonna get invited in, now it's your life's gonna be different
- 00:25:05.722 --> 00:25:08.325
- because you did the right thing--you have intersected
- 00:25:08.325 --> 00:25:13.330
- with the divine because you obeyed the law of God
- 00:25:13.330 --> 00:25:17.667
- written on your heart.
- 00:25:17.667 --> 00:25:20.203
- You have participated in it.
- 00:25:20.203 --> 00:25:22.839
- These are Jesus's words, I love this, "You are not far from it."
- 00:25:22.839 --> 00:25:28.111
- So we're gonna talk about integrity, and from lots of
- 00:25:29.346 --> 00:25:32.048
- different angles.
- 00:25:32.048 --> 00:25:33.416
- To get started, it's anchored to something beyond our fluid
- 00:25:33.416 --> 00:25:36.987
- opinions and it's anchored to something beyond anyone's fluid
- 00:25:36.987 --> 00:25:40.223
- opinions or majority opinion; it's informed by a value system
- 00:25:40.223 --> 00:25:44.527
- that stands outside of us, that stands over us, that puts
- 00:25:44.527 --> 00:25:47.163
- pressure on us, and it represents what's best for us
- 00:25:47.163 --> 00:25:54.037
- and it represents what's best for the people around us.
- 00:25:54.104 --> 00:25:58.375
- And the reason you know it's what's best for you is because
- 00:25:58.375 --> 00:26:01.378
- when someone treats you the way they ought not treat you, you
- 00:26:01.378 --> 00:26:05.749
- appeal to the law of God in your heart and you appeal to the law
- 00:26:05.749 --> 00:26:11.221
- of God that your hope is in their heart as well.
- 00:26:11.221 --> 00:26:14.424
- It's more than simply being a good person, it's living in sync
- 00:26:14.491 --> 00:26:18.528
- with the will of God.
- 00:26:18.528 --> 00:26:20.497
- When you do what's right and it costs you, you declare the rule
- 00:26:20.563 --> 00:26:25.101
- of God over you.
- 00:26:25.101 --> 00:26:26.569
- You're not just making a good decision, you're not--
- 00:26:26.636 --> 00:26:30.306
- this is what's so amazing-- you're not just doing the right
- 00:26:30.306 --> 00:26:32.642
- thing; you are declaring the rule of God over you and you are
- 00:26:32.642 --> 00:26:38.081
- participating in the kingdom of God whether you meant to or not
- 00:26:38.081 --> 00:26:43.586
- and whether you believe in God or not.
- 00:26:43.653 --> 00:26:47.223
- And, when you insist that other people treat other people justly
- 00:26:47.290 --> 00:26:52.362
- and when you insist that other people treat other people right
- 00:26:52.429 --> 00:26:55.732
- and when you insist that other people treat other people fairly
- 00:26:55.799 --> 00:26:59.703
- you're participating in the kingdom of God as well.
- 00:26:59.769 --> 00:27:03.173
- So, wrapping this up.
- 00:27:03.239 --> 00:27:04.574
- Integrity: we expect it, you can't not expect it; we
- 00:27:04.574 --> 00:27:08.978
- celebrate it; every time you see it you celebrate it; those are
- 00:27:08.978 --> 00:27:12.215
- the heroes, right, and we can't escape it.
- 00:27:12.215 --> 00:27:16.519
- But the questions is this, the questions are these, I guess.
- 00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:20.323
- How do you get it?
- 00:27:20.390 --> 00:27:21.891
- For some of you, how do you get it back?
- 00:27:21.958 --> 00:27:24.527
- How do you guard it?
- 00:27:25.295 --> 00:27:27.130
- How do you model it for your kids?
- 00:27:27.197 --> 00:27:29.199
- That's what this series is all about.
- 00:27:29.265 --> 00:27:32.235
- So, don't miss part two of "Your Integrity, Our World."
- 00:27:32.302 --> 00:27:38.374
- Next time, we're gonna talk about how to position integrity
- 00:27:38.441 --> 00:27:41.945
- as your guide, so I hope to see you then.
- 00:27:41.945 --> 00:27:46.149
