Practical Commitments:
The Church of God’s Practical Commitments offer
scriptural guidelines for practical Christian living.
SPIRITUAL EXAMPLE
We will demonstrate our
commitment to Christ through our practice of the spiritual
disciplines; we will demonstrate our commitment to the body of
Christ through our loyalty to God and commitment to His church; and
we will demonstrate our commitment to the work of Christ through our
being good stewards.
MORAL PURITY
We
will engage in those activities which glorify God in our body and
which avoid the fulfillment of the lust of the flesh. We will read,
watch and listen to those things which are of positive benefit to
our spiritual well-being.
PERSONAL
INTEGRITY
We will live in a manner that
inspires trust and confidence, bearing the fruit of the Spirit and
seeking to manifest the character of Christ in all our
behavior.
FAMILY
RESPONSIBILITY
We will give priority to
fulfilling family responsibilities, to preserving the sanctity of
marriage and to maintaining divine order in the home.
BEHAVIORAL
TEMPERANCE
We will practice temperance in
behavior and will abstain from activities and attitudes which are
offensive to our fellowman or which lead to addiction or
enslavement.
MODEST
APPEARANCE
We will demonstrate the
scriptural principle of modesty by appearing and dressing in a
manner that will enhance our Christian testimony and will avoid
pride, elaborateness or sensuality.
SOCIAL
OBLIGATION
It should be our objective to
fulfill our obligations to society by being good citizens, by
correcting social injustices, and by protecting the sanctity of
life.
