The Founding Fathers of this country were men of principle and integrity. Even down to the sixteenth President of this country, Abraham Lincoln was a man of principle and integrity. They did not operate based upon “what was popular” or “what polled well among the people.” There was RIGHT and there was WRONG, and these early leaders in our nation’s history did not flirt with or compromise with that which was clearly WRONG. Even if it cost them fame, even if it hurt them politically, even if it looked foolish at the time, RIGHT was RIGHT and they stood by that which was RIGHT.
For the sake of our nation (and for the sake of our families, our businesses, our churches, etc.), we need people of principle and integrity! We need RIGHT to be RIGHT and we need to stand firmly for RIGHT. God told us to deny “ungodliness and worldly lusts,” and that “we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age” (Titus 2:12). Are you a person of principle and integrity?
