Family Rules of Conduct

The following is a suggested list of rules for the home, based on God's Word.

1. Obey the ten Commandments in Exodus 20 at all times.
�This house will serve and obey the Lord�. (Joshua 24:15)

2. Children will obey quickly and quietly at all times.
(I Timothy 3:4-5; Ephesians 6:1-4)

3. No anger; No Bitterness; No display of wrath; No ugly talking to one another will be permitted; Kindness, forgiveness, and love will rule our home.
(Proverbs 13:3; Ephesians 4:30-32)

4. No lying or stealing. (Ephesians 4:25-28)

5. Christian love will be expressed between family members at all times. (I John 4:20-21; John 13:34-35)

6. Confess our sins and repent immediately (quickly) when we sin; knowing that God always punishes our sins.
(Revelation 3:19; Psalms 139:23-24)

7. Children will understand that punishment and teaching are because we love them, because the Bible commands it, and for their own good.
(Hebrews 12:5-11; Proverbs 13:24; 19:18; 22:6; 22:15; and 23:13)

8. Righteous living -- Both doing what is right and avoiding what is wrong -- and the Lord�s work at church will be first and most important things in our lives.
(Matthew 6:33; Jeremiah 7:23)

9. The Bible instructs us to stay away from people, places, and things that are evil. We are told to get away quickly (flee). (Psalms 1:1-3; Proverbs 1:10-15; 5:21; 13:20; and 14:7)

10. We will always remember to tithe on Sunday (Malachi 3:8-12) and remember that God blesses gifts above the tithe to worthy causes (Luke 6:38; II Corinthians 9:6-9).

These Rules and the Word of God Shall Be Observed at All Times Whether we are Home; Visiting; in the Car; or Wherever we Are. (Deuteronomy 6:5-9)
