2 Timothy 3:16“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.”

2. Trust what's right (Even if Others Don’t Agree)

Daniel 1:12-13 “‘Please test us for ten days on a diet of vegetables and water,’ Daniel said. ‘At the end of the ten days, see how we look compared to the other young men who are eating the king’s food. Then make your decision in light of what you see.’”

Psalm 118:8 “It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people.”

Romans 8:28“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”

3. Live what's right (Even in the Face of Opposition)

2 Chronicles 19:9“…You must always act …with integrity and with undivided hearts.”

2 Thessalonians 3:3 “But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen and protect you…”
