Seven Spiritual Principles
The Seven Spiritual
Principles are based off of The Seven Checkpoints by North Point
Community Church. They are:
- Authentic
Faith:
This principle will focus on teaching students that true faith
is confidence that God is who He says He is and that He will do
everything that He has promised to do.
This includes teaching them that they have to believe and trust
in Jesus Christ as their personal savior if they want to go to Heaven.
Also, that faith in Christ means that their must cultivate a daily
relationship with God, who is an all-knowing and all-powerful Father
they can trust.
- Spiritual
Disciplines: This principle will focus on
teaching students how to properly discipline their minds and bodies to
“not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of [their] minds” (Romans 12:2).
- Moral
Boundaries:
This principle will focus on teaching students to establish
specific moral guidelines that will help them protect their bodies and
emotions by honoring God's plan for sex and morality. Purity paves the way to intimacy.
The most important thing they can do is to establish specific
guidelines in their dating lives. They need to learn how to protect
their bodies and emotions by honoring God's plan for sex and morality.
- Biblical
Community:
This principle will focus on helping students discovering the
gifts and abilities that God has given them and provide them with an
opportunity to use these gifts by making an investment in lives of
others.
- Wise
Choices:
This principle will focus on helping students apply Scriptural
principles to their lives so they can make smart choices which will
protect their future In light
of past experience and future dreams, students will be taught to ask
themselves, "What is the wise thing to do?" Good decision
making is more than simply choosing between right and wrong. It is the
skill of applying Scriptural principles to their lives so they can
make smart choices which will guide and protect their future.
- Submission
to Authority: This principle will focus on helping
students understand that the parents, teachers, and leaders that God
has placed in their lives are there to guide and guard their potential
and life, and that the greatest lesson that they can learn is how to
respect and honor those who are in authority.
- Meaningful Friendships: This principle will focus
on teaching students that spending time with right kind of friends
definitely helps you grow in a positive and healthy direction. Their friends determine the
direction and quality of their life. If they walk with the wise they
will grow wise, and that spending time with right kind of friends
definitely helps them grow in a positive and healthy direction.
Scripture also teaches that "The companion of fools will suffer
harm." Learn to build healthy friendships and avoid unhealthy
friends.
