The Church of
God’s Practical Commitments offer scriptural guidelines
for practical Christian living. Click on
each heading for more information.
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.
