The Church of God\u2019s Practical Commitments offer scriptural guidelines for practical Christian living.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nSPIRITUAL EXAMPLE<\/b>
\nWe 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.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nMORAL PURITY<\/b>
\nWe 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.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nPERSONAL INTEGRITY<\/b>
\nWe 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.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nFAMILY RESPONSIBILITY<\/b>
\nWe will give priority to fulfilling family responsibilities, to preserving the sanctity of marriage and to maintaining divine order in the home.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nBEHAVIORAL TEMPERANCE<\/b>
\nWe 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.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nMODEST APPEARANCE<\/b>
\nWe 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.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nSOCIAL OBLIGATION<\/b>
\nIt 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.
