Accountability – Communication – Trust – Respect - Integrity – Teamwork - Excellence
Accountability- Romans 14:12 So then Each of us will give an account of ourselves unto god. (our Everyday decisions matter to God and to those we live with at home, School or work. We set the example of how believers should reflect Jesus in good and bad times. Our attitudes and actions speak much louder than our word. We must live under the direction of the Holy Spirit being accountable to live righteous lives.
Communication - Psalm 19:4 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer. (The Two most important types of Communication are between man and God and between each other. Communication is more than just our ability to talk, but also to listen. Emphasis in communication with God “prayer praise worship meditation and Bible Study” Emphasis on communication with each other “ no filthy communication should escape from the lips of a Christian whether said in jest or in earnest, be quick to listen and slow to speak and even slower to become angry our communication should always come forth in a loving manner.)
Trust - Romans 15:5 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and Peace as you trust him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Trust in the Lord with all your heart. We don’t have to even try to figure everything out on our own but instead we must listen for God’s voice in everything we do and everywhere we go. He is the one who will keep us on track. We cannot assume we know it all. Honor God with our all give God our first and best. We must learn to accept his loving correction because it is the child, He loves that He corrects.)
Respect- John 13:24 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another : Matthew 25:40 verily I say unto you inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these you have done it unto me: (God is no Respecter of Person or Personality Luke 6:31” Here is a simple rule of thumb for behavior; ask yourself what you want people to do for you; then grab the initiative and do it for them. We demonstrate the nature of Christ Jesus who humbled himself and took on the form of a man even though He is God”.)
Integrity- Philippians 2:12-13 12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed – not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence – continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfil his good purpose. (We must adhere to the truth of God’s word, and in so doing we strive to be people of uncompromised morality and Integrity through the power of the Holy Spirit. Philippians 4:8-9 Summing it all up, friends, I’d say you’ll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious—the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse. Put into practice what you learned from me, what you heard and saw and realized. Do that, and God, who makes everything work together, will work you into his most excellent harmonies)
Excellence - we must be whole heartedly committed to things above
Philippians 1:9-11 And I pray this, that your love may abound even more and more in knowledge and every kind of insight 10 so that you can decide what is best, and thus be sincere and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.
Perfection is not attainable in this world but if we seek God and His Righteousness habitually, we may find Excellence.
