Stick-Figure Lesson

Bible in a Year: Nehemiah 7–9; Acts 3

What we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present. 2 Corinthians 10:11

A friend of mine—okay, it was my counselor—drew a stick figure on a sheet of paper. She labeled this the “private” self. Then she drew an outline around the figure, about a half-inch larger, and named it the “public” self. The difference between the two figures, between the private and public selves, represents the degree to which we have integrity.

I paused at her lesson and wondered, Am I the same person in public that I am in private? Do I have integrity?

Paul wrote letters to the church in Corinth, weaving love and discipline into his teachings to be like Jesus. As he neared the end of this letter (2 Corinthians), he addressed accusers who challenged his integrity by saying he was bold in his letters but weak in person (10:10). These critics used professional oratory to take money from their listeners. While Paul possessed academic prowess, he spoke simply and plainly. “My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words,” he had written in an earlier letter, “but with a demonstration of the Spirit’s power” (1 Corinthians 2:4). His later letter revealed his integrity: “Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present” (2 Corinthians 10:11).

Paul presented himself as the same person in public that he was in private. How about us?

By Elisa Morgan

Reflect & Pray

In what ways are you integrating your private and public life? How might you honor God even more fully with complete integrity?

Dear God, help me to be myself first to You in private, that I might present myself with integrity as the same person in public.

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

While the Air Force attributes this to his own choice, stating that he was low on the promotion list to permanent colonel and unlikely to make general, a pilot under his command in Korea, Robert Smith, asserts that the Air Force dishonored itself by pressuring Mahurin to resign from the service as a result of political infighting over the confessions, just four years short of becoming eligible for retirement benefits.

Too bad his name wasn’t McCain.
