Jesus Lives - Code of Conduct

Jesus lives is a competitive Christ-centered gaming team. As such, the team expects its members to live a life that is above reproach¹ and Christ-like.

I commit myself to obey Jesus ¹ commandment to His disciples ² echoed by the Apostle Paul³ to love and serve others. This includes respect for all people regardless of race, gender, status or stage of life. It precludes harming another person physically, emotionally or verbally, and instead means edifying others, showing compassion, demonstrating humility and patience, and considering the interests of others ahead of my own interests.

I commit myself to refrain from practices which are biblically prohibited. Such practices include criminal violence⁴, drunkenness⁵, profane language⁶, abortion⁷, involvement in the occult⁸, premarital sex⁹, indulging in pornography¹⁰, living common law ¹¹, adultery¹², homosexual behaviour¹³ and dishonest practices such as cheating¹⁴ and stealing¹⁵.

I commit myself to maintain the highest ethical standards and honesty¹⁵ in gaming and life in general. This also implies not hacking in games.

I commit myself to act an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity. ¹⁶ Therefore, I will make lifestyle choices with a high level of consideration for those around me.¹⁷ I will maintain discreet inoffensive behaviour in relationship to the opposite sex, and will abstain from the use of illegal drugs or the habitual use of tobacco or alcohol¹⁸.
 

I agree to the code of conduct policy and hereby commit myself to these disciplines, depending upon the Holy Spirit to guide and empower me.
