More important than personal integrity is being sensitive to the issues and understanding what people need. Under those standards Absalom would have made a great king. I cannot help addressing this issue simply because the Bible speaks volumes to us on this very matter. For those of you who do not like preaching that takes on political issues and that confronts evil in high places, you should be very glad that Isaiah or Jeremiah is not your preacher. This is just plain common sense.
Character is a person's ethics or morals.
J.C. Watts says that character is what you do when no one is looking. This is not only common sense. It is scripture. Character, morals and ethics count when it comes to one's family. Character counts when it comes to individuals.
