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.
