In most paths of life, we welcome standards. They provide safety, uniform levels of acceptable performance and guidelines for behavior for all peoples of the world. But Standards observed for their own sake become legalistic and Pharisaical. However, Godly standards of dress, behavior, music, church order, separation, and yes even the Internet, we  observed to please the Lord, and, formulated on the basis of scriptural principle, effectively set us apart as a peculiar people that live lives considered inscrutable by our peers. We all live by standards of some kind, formulated after some criteria discerned or not for that makes a difference in who we are and what we are. 

Family   +     Honesty +   Integrity  =    Truth

Family  and Values        WE    BELIEVE    IN    FAMILY   and    FAMILY    VALUES

Definition of Family; A family is the basic social unit made up of a husband and wife and any children they may have. "Family" may also mean an extended clan of related families led by a patriarch.  The concept of family rises out of the creation account in the first chapters of Genesis.   The basis of the family as created by God is a monogamous, loving relationship between a man and a woman. God designed the monogamous marriage relationship to last through the lifetime of its partners. The human family illustrates the relationship of God to His people throughout the Bible. In the Old Testament God is occasionally addressed as the Father of Israel.  A harmonious Christian family can bear powerful witness to the love,joy, and peace that flows from knowing God the Father through faith in Jesus Christ our Savior.

Definition of Value; A value is a principle, standard set to keep order within  boundaries of family or society. Values sometimes are taken as points of view or opinions which are unstable values in that form. Values are woven into honest, integrity, and truth.  They base soundness into the family.  Family is in our logo for that is the SOUNDNESS of any program, or membership for that is the fabric of life.  "Family" the heart of it all.

Definition of Family Values;  We are called upon by certain standards or values, principles to conduct order in our family which are based around those standards. We believe in the Standard of the Bible by which this program is centered on. Family Values is to have good thoughts and good intentions, to love and care for those who we are close to and are part of our primary social group, such as children, parents, other family members and friends. For the greatest value we are taught is that of love.  It is in that family value of love that God gave his only Son for not one but for all of us that we might live.

Honesty  Some people might say honest is the same as Integrity but they are different
  1. The quality of being honest: honor, honorableness, incorruptibility, integrity, upstandingness. See honest/dishonest.
  2. Moral or ethical strength: character, fiber, integrity, principle. See strong/weak.
Though honesty is like that of Integrity they are different but link together in someway to a common good.
 
Integrity  1. Firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values
              2. The quality of state of being complete or undivided
3. An unimpaired condition (soundness)
Integrity will not allow for decisions that may compromise personal belief and faith, it will not give into peer pressure because everyone is doing it, it will set one apart sometimes from the "in" crowd. 
Integrity will tell truth over a lie despite the consequences, it will help steer a person clear of those that easily bow to a corrupt nature, it will continue on a decision to stand firm on principals that are inherently good,.
 
Family  (social or Internet group)   +  Honesty(strength or fiber) +   Integrity (Code making complete)  =  Truth It is in this truth that makes the difference for it transcends all extremes"
 
Truth 
You ask me for a definition of truth? There is no definition of truth. How can one's self define one's self? Pilate asked Christ, "What is truth?" and Christ simply looked at him and remained silent. Truth has no words, no sounds. Truth is an experience of the extreme depths of the self. It is total identification with what is.  "Truth" describes the way things actually are.  Truth is found in God's person, His character, and His work of salvation provided through Jesus Christ.  God is the self-existent One, the Creator of all that exists.  Therefore God is truth, and all truth is God's truth.  The Bible calls Him "the God of truth."  God declares, " I the Lord, speak the truth: I declare what is right," " Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist."

Truth is not the opposite of untruth. The opposite of untruth is still untruth. All extremes are untruths. Truth is the mean between extremes. In other words, truth transcends all extremes.

 The World's Standards Change

Culturally or socially mandated standards, however useful and necessary for various spheres of life, are fickle and transient. Whereas our God is holy and immutable

 (changeless), the standards of men seemingly change with the winds of time. For the Word of GOD as our standard is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, never changing, solid and true.

What makes this membership program different?
