Christian Behavior
What we believe
Christians are called to think, feel and act according to biblical principles. We choose entertainment, relationships and habits that encourage Christlike purity, health and joy; dress with simplicity and modesty; and care intelligently for the body as the Spirit’s temple. This includes healthy food, exercise and rest, and avoiding harmful substances and practices.
Grace shapes ordinary choices so that the whole life honours Christ and promotes wholeness.
