What Happened to the Integrity In America? Judges 11:1-40 LESSONS OF INTEGRITY THAT WE LEARN FROM JEPHTHAH Paul said that we’re to present ourselves as a living sacrifice. You know what means more to us than anything else? You know what is the dearest thing to all of us? Ourselves. Our own will. Running our own life, doing what we want to do in the way we want to do it. That’s what’s dearest to us, and God says, “That’s what I want; I want your life.” But the wonderful thing is when we recognize that and give our life to God and lay our life down, God gives our life back to us.We have to decide consciously that we’re going to live for God, that we belong to Him, that He’s our Lord, that He’s our head. We need to fulfill those vows and be people of integrity, and that’s the way our nation will come back to God.
