Blog Integrity

Psalm 15 gives us God’s guidelines for living lives of integrity, in all areas of our lives:

1 LORD, who may dwell in your sanctuary? Who may live on your holy hill?
2 He whose walk is blameless and who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from his heart
3 and has no slander on his tongue, who does his neighbor no wrong and casts no slur on his fellow man,
4 who despises a vile man but honors those who fear the LORD, who keeps his oath even when it hurts,
5 who lends his money without usury and does not accept a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

Note that verse two says, “…who speaks the truth from his heart.”  This command from God applies to blogs like this one.  Not only should we hold to integrity when writing new blog posts or comments, but I believe this is actually telling us that it is necessary for us to write such comments when we have truth in our heart about an issue.  This passage doesn’t say that we should just have the truth in our hearts, but that we should speak it (or blog it).

When you have truth in your heart about a blog posting, don’t hesitate to post your comments, even though others may disagree with you.
