Integrity of The Heart

In Integrity of Heart, Jerry Savelle teaches that integrity is one of the most important characteristics a Christian—and especially a minister—can develop. He defines integrity as a disciplined commitment to truth, honesty, reliability, and keeping one's word. Using personal examples, he explains that failing to follow through on promises, even in small matters, undermines credibility and makes it difficult to fully trust God's faithfulness. Jerry emphasizes that God is the ultimate example of integrity because He always keeps His Word, and believers are called to imitate Him by becoming dependable, trustworthy, and consistent in their actions.

Drawing from biblical examples such as Job, Daniel, Abraham, and Jesus, Jerry shows that those who refuse to compromise their convictions are positioned to receive God's blessing and fulfill their calling. He warns that a lack of integrity among church leaders damages the reputation of the Gospel and erodes trust in ministry. The central message is that Christians must make a lifelong commitment to keep their vows, honor their commitments, resist compromise, and develop a reputation for honesty and faithfulness. Integrity is not merely a virtue but a spiritual foundation that unlocks God's favor and enables believers to stand strong against adversity.
