LRH: Good Sportsmanship Lesson Plan - Lesson 6

Lesson 6: Integrity

Memory Verse:

Psalm 101:2-3 I will be careful to live a blameless life … I will lead a life of integrity in my own home. (NLT)

New Word:

in·teg·ri·ty   
[in-teg-ri-tee] –noun
1. adherence to moral and ethical principles; soundness of moral character; honesty.
2. the state of being whole, entire, or undiminished: to preserve the integrity of the empire.

• What does it mean to blame someone?  (You say that someone did something or caused something to happen, usually something wrong.)
• How do you feel when you've done something wrong, and then you get “blamed” for it?  
• How about when you've done nothing wrong and are accused of something?  
• What do you think it means to be blameLESS?  (It means that there is no cause for blame, the charges won’t stick.)  

If you are blameless, you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve followed the rules, then you have integrity.  That’s what integrity means, to follow the rules.  In our memory verse, the Psalmist says that he will have integrity in his own home.  What do you think that could mean?  I think that it means that we should have integrity, with our families, but also when no-one is looking, when no-one would know whether we broke the rules or not.
