Ten Scriptural Convictions
1. The Bible is the inspired Word of God and the final authority for my life. (Exodus 20:3; Psalm 138:2 Matthew 4:4; 2Timothy 3:16)
2. My purpose in life is to seek God with my whole heart and to build my goals around His priorities.
(Exodus 20:4, 5; Psalm 119:2; Matthew 6:33; Philippians 3:8; 2 Corinthians 5:9; 1 Corinthians 10:31)
3. My body is the living temple of God and must not be defiled by the lusts of the flesh.
(Exodus 20:7; 2 Samuel 12:14; Daniel 1:8; Mark 7:21-23; I Corinthians 3:16; 1 Peter 2:11; I Thessalonians 4: 3-8)
4. My church must teach the foundational truths of Scripture and reinforce my basic convictions.
(Exodus 20:8; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Psalm 29:2; Matthew 7:15, 16; 2 Corinthians 6:14-17; 1 Peter 4:17)
5. My children and grandchildren belong to God, and it is my responsibility to teach them Scriptural principles, godly character, and basic convictions. (Exodus 20:12; Deuteronomy 6:6, 7; 4:9; Psalm 127:3; Matthew 19:14; Galatians 4: l, 2; l Thess.2:11)
6. My activities must never weaken the Scriptural convictions of another Christian. (Exodus 20:13; Proverbs 28:10; Matthew 18:6; Romans 14:13)
7. My marriage is a lifelong commitment to God and to my marriage partner. (Exodus 20:14; Genesis 2:24; Proverbs 6:32; Matthew 19:6; Romans 7:2, 3)
8. My money is a trust from God and must be earned and managed according to Scriptural principles.
(Exodus 20:15: Deuteronomy 8:18; Proverbs 15:6; Malachi 3:8; Luke 16:11; I Timothy 6:10)
9. My words must be in harmony with Scripture, especially when reproving and restoring a Christian brother. (Exodus 20:16; Proverbs 15:28, 18:21, 25:9; Matthew 12:37, 18:15; Galatians 6: l)
10. My affections must be set on things above, not on things on the earth. (Exodus 20:17; Job 1:21; Matthew 6:20, 21; Colossians 3:2)
