VALUES embraced by The Christian Network (SA)
As Christian believers our values are defined and based on the Bible, the Word of God.
THESE VALUES SHAPE OUR CONVICTIONS!
Defining values
It is a border or belief that defines a basic standard in your life. A value is something by which you define yourself and your character and to which you willingly hold as a minimum standard.
It is thus a standard of life that reflects your basic beliefs and allows for your heart and conscience to be at peace.
It is a framework of beliefs within which you live and within which you choose to make yourself accountable.
Important choices and decisions are made on the basis of the values set in your life. Values form the foundation of decision making.
Values are beliefs that quantify your life!
Biblical values are absolutes of truth should never be compromised.
Values should form the basis of all ministry focus.
Values add value to life!
