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.
