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.
