ROANOKE CITY COUNCIL/ROANOKE CITY SCHOOL BOARD
WORK GROUP
DRAFT PROPOSAL
On behalf of the Roanoke City School Board I wish to propose that two Council-School
Board work groups be formed to study the following:
1. Funding issues, including the current funding formula
2. School/city facility-use issues as they relate to capital improvement
RATIONALE:
. Roanoke City Public Schools and the City of Roanoke continually face challenging
funding and operational issues. Establishing two work groups, each with a clear
focus and time frame, to look at long-term, sustainable approaches to mitigating
costs and maximizing investment for both systems can well result in positive
outcomes for both bodies and the community. Carefully reviewing the current
funding formula, taking a close look at where we can work together to reduce rising
costs in shared areas such as facility maintenance, purchasing, transportation,
etc. may help us make lasting changes while developing effective future strategies
that truly benefit the schools and the city.
. Both the City and RCPS are engaged in significant capital improvement projects, and
will continue to advance capital improvement plans in the future. Jointly exploring
facility use, such as schools, recreation facilities, libraries, etc. (acknowledging that
school facilities must align with program/instruction functions and standards of
accreditation, and any review of school facilities must recognize this alignment) may
have great potential for future capital planning.
COMPOSITION:
Each group might consist of one school board member (not the chair), one council
member (not the mayor) and additional individuals from the administration of each body
with the knowledge and responsibility related to the issues at hand. If possible, a
convener/facilitator, or part-time paid support person may assist with the group.
PROCESS:
As the issues to be studied and the people involved in doing so overlap, it may be most
effective to roll out the two groups sequentially. Setting a time frame and specific
formative reporting targets will help the groups stay on track. The work groups can then
return final recommendations to the Board and Council for further consideration as
appropriate.
Respectfully Submitted,
Kathy G. Stockburger
Chair, Roanoke City School Board

Page 2
Dr. Cutler ordered that items A through D be received and filed. There were no
objections to the order. The chair recognized Mr. Harmon for comments. Mr.
Harmon explained the purpose of this meeting was to give the Audit Committee
members an opportunity to ask questions regarding the financial audits of
GRTC being presented. He noted that David Morgan, Manager of GRTC, was
present as well as representatives of the independent auditing firm KPMG. Mr.
Conner is Partner with the local office of KPMG, and Mr. Ragone is Senior
Manager.
Mr. Harmon introduced Mr. Conner for comments. Mr. Conner reviewed the
Basic Financial Statements and the Report to the Board of Directors. He stated
there was one uncorrected misstatement, determined by management to be
immaterial, regarding the accrual for compensated absences, or vacation
accrual, which was not recorded. Mr. Conner said this is a continual item,
which has occurred year after year. This balance could represent a liability in
the accrual account that is understated, but has minimal effect on changes of
net assets for the year. Chairman Cutler asked if GRTC should change its
procedures in this area. Mr. Conner replied that any time KPMG auditors
identify an error, they suggest that it be corrected. However, if it is not
material, it is the prerogative of management to make that change.
Chairman Cutler asked Mr. Morgan if he would be interested in eliminating this
misstatement item in the future. Mr. Morgan explained the bargaining
agreement allows a certain percentage of paid days off to be carried over to the
next year. He stated it had not been an issue thus far, but GRTC would try to
address the matter if the committee recommended doing so. Mr. Fitzpatrick
suggested this issue be brought up at a later time after a bargaining agreement
has been reached. Mr. Morgan suggested if that is done to spread it out over
several years to lessen the impact on anyone year. Dr. Cutler asked Mr. Conner
for his comments, and he stated that spreading this liability out would probably
not be in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, but he
would be happy to pursue alternatives. Chairman Cutler said perhaps this issue
should be set aside for now.
Mr. Morgan stated the financial stability of the organization is very strong at
this time.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked Mr. Morgan for a report on the Smart Way bus and
number of passengers per day. Mr. Morgan stated the budgetary goal was to
have 130 passengers per day. That number was up to 150 in October 2005,
but is now back in the 130 range, which is still on target.
Ms. McDaniel noted the,RP~ra,ting,.expenses of GRTC increased by more than
one million dollars in 200·5 öiÏe'f'fišè"ëii',\¡'e'ar2003 and asked if that was normal.
Mr. Morgan replied that two issues had driven that increase. The operating
budget was increased by one hundred percent over last year and still was not
enough. Mr. Morgan also stated the paratransit services required under the
GRTC Audit Committee Minutes - December 19, 2005
Page 3
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for handicapped and disabled persons
had increased expenses. The ages of those in the community had increased
and thus services had also increased - 17 to 18 percent over last year alone.
Mr. Fitzpatrick stated that Mr. Lea has been serving on the Transportation
Committee appointed by the Governor, and there is a significant opportunity for
the city to obtain additional transit funds if the recommendations are approved
by the General Assembly. Mr. Lea confirmed this and stated the amount being
pursued is about four million dollars. Mr. Morgan said he understood these
funds would be distributed as a one-time use for capital projects, and Mr. Lea
said that was correct. Mr. Morgan noted that would not offset the operational
expenses of GRTC. Ms. Burcham stated she understood the funds would be
used for an addition to the Campbell Court garage and for bus shelters.
Mr. Harmon asked Mr. Morgan to address the increase in parts inventory. Mr.
Morgan stated that grants have allowed GRTC to accumulate a large parts
inventory, which includes spare engines and spare transmissions. This means a
bus will be down for repairs for only a day or two instead of weeks. Mr. Morgan
stated the cost to GRTC is minimal, and having the inventory on hand helps to
offset operating costs.
Chairman Cutler asked Mr. Morgan if the year ended in the black. Mr. Morgan
replied that the 2005 fiscal year ended $31,000 in the red.
3. UNFINISHED BUSINESS:
There was no unfinished business to come before the Committee.
4. NEW BUSINESS:
There was no new business to come before the Committee.
5. ADJOURNMENT:
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 1 :24 p.m.

Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council:
Subject: State Homeland Security Program
Additional Funding Allocation
Background:
The Virginia Department of Emergency Management has announced an
additional allocation for the 2005 U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS),
State Homeland Security Program Grant. This grant is designed to provide
equipment, training, planning and exercises for first responders to develop
better preparedness to prevent, respond and recover from potential acts of
terrorism.
The City of Roanoke has been allocated a total of $53,054 in additional funding
under this grant, which will be placed in the City's FY06 accounts noted below.
Funding was based on a regional allocation of $402,762 divided into
jurisdictions on a per capita basis. Funding will be made available upon review
of the budget detail listing and approval by the Virginia Department of
Emergency Management and the DHS.
Considerations:
This funding, which requires no local match, must be used according to the
requirements specified by the Department of Homeland Security. The 2005
grant allows the expenditures in four areas of need in First Responder
Preparedness to include equipment acquisition, training, planning, and
exercise.
Mayor Harris and Members of City Council

Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council:
Subject: Renewal of Agreement with
Williamson Road Area Business
Association, Inc.
Background:
In May 1993, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 31472-052493, which created
the Williamson Road Area Service District, and authorized the execution of a
services agreement between the City of Roanoke and the Williamson Road Area
Business Association, Inc. (WRABA). On May 20, 1996, the initial agreement was
renewed authorizing continued administration of the agreement by WRABA for
a one year term, with nine one year extensions thereafter, subject to
termination with or without cause during each period of time. The current
agreement expires on June 30, 2006.
At this time, the WRABA is requesting that City Council authorize the renewal of
the agreement between the City and the WRABA for continued administration of
the Special Service District. The WRABA is requesting that the renewed
agreement be made at the same tax imposed rate ($.10 per $100 valuation of
real estate) and district boundaries (between Orange Avenue and City Limits
North on Williamson Road) and for a similar length of time that was agreeable
with City Council on May 20, 1996. The WRABA is also requesting that the two
percent administrative fee charged annually by the City be removed from the
agreement.
Mayor Harris and Members of City Council
May 1, 2006
Page 2
Considerations:
The projected revenue from Special Service District tax funds is S82,000 for
Fiscal Year 2006-2007. Based upon this estimate, the annual administrative fee
of these funds will be $1,640 for Fiscal Year 2006-2007.
The WRABA continues to pursue endeavors that improve economic vitality and
enhance the quality of life of the Williamson Road corridor. The Association
supported the City's efforts on changes to the enterprise zone and has worked
collaboratively with the police department through the business watch groups
and seminar attendances. The WRABA's achievements over the last ten years
illustrate its commitments to the areas of economic development, City
beautification, strategic planning, and public safety. The two percent
administrative fee charged annually by the City was deleted from the contract
with Downtown Roanoke, Inc. for the Downtown Service District; therefore, it
should be removed from the agreement with the WRABA.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the City Manager to execute a renewal agreement between the City of
Roanoke and the Williamson Road Area Business Association, Inc. (WRABA)
effective July 1, 2006, for an initial term of one year, subject to nine additional
one year terms and subject to termination with or without cause during each
term for continued administration of the Special Service District. The agreement
shall delete the two percent administrative fee previously imposed. The
agreement shall be approved as to form by the City Attorney.

RE: RENEWAL OF WRABA'S SERVICE DISTRICT TAX
On behalfofthe WilIianlson Road Area Busincss Association (WRABA) Board and our
Members, we wish to offer our thanks. WRABA is very appreciative for the assistance
you and the City of Roanoke have given us with past projects.
In May, 1993, Council of the City of Roanoke adopted Ordinance No. 31472-052493
providing for the creation of a Williamson Road Area Service District and authorized the
exccution of the initial services agreement between the City of Roanokc and WRABA.
The original agreement was renewed in 1994, and again in 1996 for an initial one year
term with nine one year extensions. The current agreement terminates on June 30, 2006.
Our association is asking City Council to renew the operational agreement between the
City and WRABA for thc continued administration of the Special Service District.
We look to you for your continuing support by renewing our Williamson Road Arca
Service District Services Agrcemcnt at thc sanle tax imposed rate ($.10 per $100
valuation of real estate) and district boundaries (between Orange Avenue and City Limits
North on Williamson Road), and for a similar length of time that was agreeable with the
City Council in 1996.
This reauthorization will allow us to continue our commitment and pursuit for betterment
of the Williamson Road corridor. We request the two percent administrative fee charged
by the City annually be removed from the agreement. This is the only anlcndment we
request to the drafting and adoption of the new agreement.
For your revicw, please find attached our Work Plan and Budget for fiscal year
, ..
2006/2007. On a yearly basis, this plan and budget are submitted to our City Manager for
review and approval. Included you will also find our certificate of insurance.

Dear Mayor Harris and Members of City Council:
Subject: March Financial Report
The attached narrative and financial statements cover the financial activity for the first
nine months of fiscal year 2006. Although this report covers three quarters of the fiscal
year, our second largest tax, Personal Property, which provides approximately 10% of
total General Fund revenues, is due May 31. The performance of this tax significantly
affects our overall revenue performance for the year. Preliminary analysis of data with the
Commissioner of the Revenue's office indicates that we should have modest growth in
Personal Property tax revenues. Growth in real estate and related taxes is somewhat old
news. Although we have had higher than normal growth in this tax base for several
years, the housing market appears to be cooling somewhat. I anticipate growth in
Roanoke's real estate will begin to look more normal over the upcoming couple of years
and revert to the long term growth trend of 2% to 4% annually, versus the growth
experienced in the past few years of 6% to 8%.
The local economy shows positive trends based on several indicators. Unemployment in
the City, through February 2006, was 2.9% versus 3.3% statewide and S.I% nationally,
certainly a positive sign for our local economy. Our local business taxes such as sales,
business license, and tourist/entertainment taxes demonstrate growth rates from a few
percentage points to double digit growth for room tax.
The most worrisome current trend is that of rising fuel and construction costs. It is
commonplace to read or experience construction bids on commercial or public projects
coming in significantly over estimates. The cost of fuel is related to the manufacture or
delivery of most goods or services. Hopefully, increasing costs in both of these areas will
stabilize or somewhat decline before they cause· an overall slowdown of the local and
national economy.
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
May 1, 2006

The adopted budget for the fiscal year 2006 totaled $223.8 million representing a 5.7%
increase over the previous year's adopted budget. The following narrative provides
commentary on the significant events of this period.
Revenue_!?
Revenues through March 2006 increased 6.7% compared to the prior fiscal year.
Approximately 1 % of this growth is due to the increase in the Prepared Food Tax rate.
Variances from the prior year are addressed as follows:
General Property Taxes increased 6.5%, led by growth in the real estate tax. The first
installment of the tax was due October 5'" and the second installment was due on April
5'''. Real estate tax revenue has increased 6.8% as of March 31" while growth of more
than 9% is anticipated as a result of growth in reassessments and new construction for
the year. Timing differences in the collection of the AprilS"· installment cause year-to-
date revenue to lag the anticipated annual growth. Personal property taxes decreased
through March; however, the majority of collections occur in the spring. Personal
property tax bills were mailed on April 17''', and the tax due date is May 31··'. As
mentioned previously, we anticipate modest growth in this major revenue source.
Other Local Taxes increased 7.2% through March. The Prepared Food and Beverage tax
rate increased from 4% to 5% effective July 1, 2005. Through March, this rate increase
has provided approximately S 1.3 million in additional revenue and is expected to provide
total growth of $2 million this fiscal year. Exclusive of the rate increase, Prepared Food
and Beverage tax increased 6.1 %, excellent growth in this important local tax. Sales tax
collections increased 4.8% compared to the prior year. The Business, Professional and
Occupational License tax (BPOL) was due March 1, 2006. The revenue from this tax has
increased 5% from the prior year and exceeds the revenue estimate. Also indicative of a
positive trend in our economy is 11.7% growth in the Transient Room Tax, which is
influenced by positive performance at local hotels in terms of both room rates and
occupancy levels. This revenue has also benefited from the results of ongoing tax audits.
Revenue from the Use of Money and Property increased significantly over the prior year as
a result of interest income on the Budget Stabilization Reserve. The reserve was
established in late FY05 by transfer of funds from the Debt Service Fund. An increase in
rental income from the Commonwealth Building also contributed to the variance.
Grants-in-Aid Commonwealth increased 8.3% due in part to an earlier receipt of $2.5
million in quarterly street maintenance funding in the third quarter of the current fiscal
year than in the prior year. Higher AFDC Foster Care and Employment Services revenues
also contributed to the variance. These social services revenues are directly related to an
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
May 1, 2006

increase in reimbursable expenditures related to adoption and employment services.
Revenues provided by the Commonwealth of Virginia Compensation Board also grew due
to an increase in the percentage of salary expenditures eligible for reimbursement.
Miscellaneous Revenue decreased 10.7% due in part to the adoption of the Economic and
Community Development Reserve Policy during the latter part of Fiscal Year 2005. This
policy accounts for revenue from small property sales in the Capital Projects Fund where
the reserve is maintained rather than the General Fund. A timing difference in the
collection of the Roanoke Redevelopment and Housing Authority's payments in lieu of
taxes also contributed to the decline.
EXRenditures
General Fund expenditures, as a whole, increased 5.8%. All departments are affected by
the 3% average pay raise granted to City employees beginning July 1, 2005. Fire/EMS and
Sheriff/Jail employees also received an additional 4% raise effective January 1, 2006. A
change in the billing methodology of the Fleet and Department of Technology (DoT)
funds also affects user departments. Effective with FY06, Fleet and DOT began billing
user departments for capital outlay rather than a Nondepartmental lump sum transfer as
in prior years. This causes a decline in the Nondepartmental category and an offsetting
increase in numerous other categories throughout FY06. Other variances between FY05
and FY06 are addressed as follows:
General Government expenditures grew 8.0% due to the aforementioned increases in the
personnel costs and internal service charges. Additionally, City expenditures for Cable
Television Educational Access (RVTV) are now recorded as a function of the Office of
Communications. In prior years, this expenditure was accounted for under Community
Development.
Public Safety expenditures are 7.7% higher in the current year due to the aforementioned
increase in salaries. Additionally, the Jail has experienced an increase in the cost of
prison health care services, and capital maintenance and equipment replacement
spending in the Police Department is higher in the current year.
Parks, Recreation and Cultural expenditures increased 16.5% in part due to the
reclassification of Event Zone, Virginia Amateur Sports, and Downtown Roanoke, Inc.
expenditures from Community Development to Parks and Recreation Administration. An
increase in special project expenditures for Youth Services contributed to the variance, as
well as higher personnel costs for the Libraries due to the reclassifiCation of several
existing positions and the addition of new positions.
Honorable Mayor and Members of Council
May 1, 2006
Page 4
Transfer to Debt Service Fund expenditures increased 13.4% primarily as a result of debt
service on the 2004B issue which began in July 2006.
Nondepartmental expenditures declined 14.8% due to a decrease in the amount of
undesignated fund balance transferred to the Capital Projects Fund. A decrease in the
transfer to the Risk Management Fund also contributed to the decline. This decrease
occurred due to a lower required funding allocation for the City's reserve for uninsured
claims in the current year compared to the prior year.

INTEGRITY IN THE LIFE OF THE BELIEVER
KEY PASSAGE: PSALM 15:1-5
,
WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY DEFINES THE WORD INTEGRITY AS:
COMPLETENESS; WHOLENESS; UNIMPA1RED CONDITION;
SOUNDNESS; HONESTY; SINCERITY.
IN LEADERSI-IIP THERE IS NO WORD MORE IMPORT ANT THAN
TRUST. IN TRUST THERE IS NO WORD MORE IMPORT ANT THAN
INTEGRITY.
HOW DOES THE WORLD LOOK UPON YOUR LIFE?
DO PEOPLE SEE YOU AS A PERSON OF INTEGRITY? CAN THEY
CONSISTENTLY RELY UPON YOU TO UPHOLD THE HIGHEST
STANDARDS OF HONESTY AND TRUSTWORTHINESS?
SOME OF US WORRY A GREAT DEAL ABOUT OUR PUBLIC STANDING
IN TERMS OF OUR PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, THE CAR WE DRIVE, OR
THE CAREER WE PURSUE. NONE OF THAT MA TrERS IF PEOPLE
BELIEVE YOU LACK INTEGRITY. CHARACTER COUNTS IN THE LONG
RUN. CONSIDER OUR NEWS MEDIA. TELEVISION REPORTERS MAY
HAVE AN IMPRESSIVE APPEARANCE. MAGAZINES MAY HAVE
GLOSSY COVERS. BUT IF THEIR MESSAGE FAILS TO TELL THE
WHOLE TRUTH, THE OUTER APPEARANCE BECOMES IRRELEVANT.
MY FRIENDS, næ QUESTION IS A SIMPLE ONE. DO YOU SAY WHAT
YOU MEAN AND MEAN WHAT YOU SAY? DO YOU USE WORDS
DECEPTIVELY AND HYPOCRA TICALL Y? INTEGRITY IS A MAJOR
ISSUE IN THE EYES OF GOD. NOTHING .IN THE UNIVERSE HAS
GREATER INTEGRITY THAN IllS INSPIRED, INERRANT WORD. WE,
TOO, SHOULD BE RELIABLE IN EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS FROM
OUR LIPS.
LET ME CUT THIS UP FOR YOU, WE ARE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK AT
SIX SCRIPTURAL PRINCIPLES OF INTEGRITY:
(1) YOUR INTEGRITY IS AT THE CORE OF WHO YOU ARE. WHEN
WE REFER TO THIS WHOLE ISSUE OF INTEGRITY WE ARE
DISCUSSING A SUBJECT THAT SHOULD BE OF URGENT
IMPORTANCE TO EVERY SINGLE BELIEVER. YOUR INTEGRITY IS
YOUR IDENTITY; IT IS THE CONTENT OF YOUR CHARACTER. THE
FIRST FEW VERSES OF PSALM 15 TELLS US THAT "HE WHO
WALKS WITH INTEGRITY, AND WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS, AND
SPEAKS TRUTH IN HIS HEART" IS THE ONE WHO IS ELILGIBLE
TO LIVE IN A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP TO GOD. WE ALSO READ IN
THESE VERSES THAT THE PERSON OF INTEGRITY HONORS THOSE
WHO HONOR GOD. HE REFUSES TO CHEAT OTHERS
FINANCIALLY. SUCH PEOPLE ARE RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY,
SINCERE, UPRIGHT AND HONEST. THE WORLD DISCOVERS IT
MAY COUNT UPON THEM TO FULFILL A COMMITMENT OR KEEP A
PROMISE. LIVE IN SUCH A WAY AND YOU" WILL NEVER BE
SHAKEN." (v5)
(2) YOU LOSE YOUR INTEGRITY WHEN YOU COMPROMISE THE
TRUTH. WHEN EXACTLY DO WE LOSE OUR INTEGRITY? WE DO
SO WHEN WE FAIL TO HONOR THE TRUTH, THE WHOLE TRUTH,
AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH WITH OUR LIVES AND OUR
WORDS. WE DO SO WHEN WE TELL ONLY PART OF THE STORY,
OR WHEN WE GIVE A TAILORED VERSION OF THE FACTS IN
ORDER TO MANIPULATE OTHERS. SOME PEOPLE THINK IN TERMS
OF "LITTLE LIES" OR "WHITE LIES" BUT IN THE EYES OF ALMIGHT
GOD, EVERY LIE IS A BIG ONE, AND NO LIE IS "WHITE."
INTEGRITY IS ABOUT LIVING AND SPEAKING IN SUCH A WAY
THAT WE CAN HOLD TO THE TRUTH, AS WELL AS BE
DEPENDABLE AND SINCERE AT ALL TIMES. PROBLEMS OF ALL
KINDS BEGIN WITH SIMPLY COMPROMISING THE TRUTH IN SOME
SMALL WAY. ONCE A PERSON HAS DONE THIS, HE OR SHE WILL
DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. FINALLY, DISHONESTY BECOMES A
WAY OF LIFE-WITH DEV AST A TING CONSEQUENCES.
(3) YOU LOSE YOUR INTEGRITY WHEN YOU BEGIN TO
RATIONALIZE. SOMETIMES PEOPLE BEGIN TO CREATE THEIR
OWN VERSION OF EVENTS BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE IT SERVES
THEM BETTER. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY MAKE
RA TIONALIZA TIONS. THEY MIGHT SAY, "I DON'T NEED TO PAY
nns MONEY BACK BECAUSE OF WHAT TI-llS PERSON DID THAT
OTHER TIME," OR "IT'S OKAY FOR ME TO DO THIS TI-IING THIS
TIME, BECAUSE THE SITUATION IS UNIQUE. "ANY TIME WE ALTER
OUR STANDARDS OUT OF CONVENIENCE, WE ARE
RA TIONALIZING-WHICH IS JUST ANOTHER WORD FOR
DISHONESTY. WHAT HAPPENDS WHEN WE RATIONALIZE? OTHER
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT WE ARE DOING. OUR
CHILDREN IN PARTICULAR TAKE NOTE OF OUR STRATEGIES TO
AVOID CLEAR STANDARDS OF INTEGRITY. TODAY WE SEE
PEOPLE COMPROMISING ALL AROUND US: IN BUSINESS, IN
POLITICS, IN THE WORLD OF ENTERTAINMENT, AND IN THE
MEDIA. EVEN IN THE CHURCH, WE FIND PASTORS WHO FAIL TO
LIVE UPRIGHT AND TRUSTWORTHY LIVES.
(4) REASONS PEOPLE LOSE THEIR INTEGRITY. ONE OF THE
PRIMARY CAUES OF A LOSS OF INTEGRITY 1S FEAR. WE FEAR
BEING FOUND OUT; WE FEAR REJECTION OR RISKING THE LOSS
OF SOMETHING WE WANT. PEOPLE WHO ARE BASICALLY
INSECURE ARE MOTIVATED BY FEAR. SECONDLY, PEOPLE
COMPROMISE THEIR STANDARDS IN ORDER TO AVOID CONFLICT.
THEY WANT TO GO ALONG WITH THE CROWD OR A VOID
CR1TICISM. PEOPLE ALTER THEIR STANDARDS SIMPLY TO
PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE. A THIRD REASON FOR THE LOSS OF
INTEGRITY IS SELFISHNESS. BECAUSE PEOPLE WANT TO
FULLFILL SOME PERSONAL DESIRE, THEIR SELF-ABSORBTION
MAKES IT MUCH EASIER FOR THEM TO AVOID BEING HONEST
AND TRUSTWORTHY. A FINAL REASON FOR THE LOSS OF
INTEGRITY IS AN UNWILLINGNESS TO TRUST GOD. WHEN WE
HAVE THE ASSURANCE THAT OUR RIGHTEOUS GOD IS IN
CONTROL, WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO BE UPRIGHT, RELIABLE,
AND TRUSTWORTHY. KNOWING HE CAN BE TRUSTED. WE WILL
LIVE IN SUCH A WAY THAT WE CAN BE TRUSTED, TOO.
(5) CONSEQUENCES OF A LACK OF INTEGRITY. COMPROMISE
BEGINS WITH SEEMINGLY INCONSEQUENTIAL ISSUES, AND
"SMALL LIES". BUT WHEN WE FOLLOW THAT PATH, THE
CONSEQUENCES WILL BE TERRIBLY DESTRUCTIVE IN OUR LIVES.
MY FRIENDS, GIVING UP YOUR INTEGRITY ERODES YOUR SELF-
ESTEEM. YOU WILL HA VE NO RESPECT FOR YOURSELF WHEN
YOU LIVE BY LYING. YOUR CHARACTER WILL BE DAMAGED. IT
SEPARATES YOU FROM YOUR FRIENDS, BECAUSE IT CAUSES
THIS LIFESTYLE REQUIRES COURAGE, BUT IT BRINGS GOOD
RESULTS. WE WILL NEVER BE SHAKEN. WE WILL BUILD BETTER
RELA TIONSHIPS WITH PEOPLE AND A GOOD NAME IN OUR
COMMUNITY. BEST OF ALL. WE WILL ABIDE WITH GOD HIMSELF.
THAT IS THE GREATEST PRIVILEGE EVER GIVEN TO ANY HUMAN
BEING.
SAINTS, nns IS A WORLD WHERE INTEGRITY IS RARE. THE WORLD
NEEDS TO SEE YOU WALKING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND LIVING A
LIFE THAT IS RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY, SINCERE, UPRIGHT, AND
HONEST. nns QUESTION OF INTEGRITY IS ABOUT YOUR VERY LIFE
AND YOUR ENTIRE FUTURE. I PRAY THAT YOU WILL BE A PERSON
WHO IN EVERY WAY HONORS THE ONLY STANDARDS WORTH
LIVING FOR, THE ETERNAL STANDARDS OF GOD'S HOLY WORD.
