This Thing Called Integrity

When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is forbidden in any of the commands of the Lord his God, he is guilty. - Lev. 4:22 

If we're already held accountable for our unintentional actions, what more if we committed certain acts with our full knowledge? Unintentional sins are just as grave. Because even if they weren't done on purpose, at some point you realize that whatever the deed was, it was wrong. I'm not saying I'm perfect and that I got this living an integral life in the bag - because I'm not. Just as any other human being in this planet, I mess up. But it's something that we need to realize - Christianity doesn't give us the right to say one thing and act another. Christianity is striving to be like Jesus, that despite our imperfect ways, we continue to strive in order to live like He did. 

So ignorance should never be an excuse. We'll know, when we've done something wrong - when we say something during a heated argument, when we tactlessly tease someone, when we become inconsiderate jerks. Of course, there is something else to be said about people who end up ignoring the warnings instead. Because then they are fully aware of what they are doing, then it's just a rebellion. Besides, if a person already knows that what he or she is doing is wrong but persists with the disobedience anyway, eventually the guilt will eat them up.

Integrity. 

It's not just about being the same kind of person at home, in school, or in Church. It's about standing firm in your convictions - that your actions do not contradict your words.
