Core Community Beliefs and Values
The core beliefs of this community are founded on values derived from sound principles. They are ideals my associates, and I strive to live by. Many values are on the list, but those provided below are the few we consider our core values.
More than some simple platitudes, defining core values and beliefs at this point provides the foundation of the relationship and interaction you and this community will enjoy in the future. So please review and think about what is stated below.
Here are our core values in no particular order.
Faith
The opposite and replacement of fear, a primary tool in the devil’s workbelt, along with shame and coercion.
Hope
The fruit of faith and expectation that all things will work out and God will prevail.
Charity
Manifests God’s unconditional love for others by placing their needs above our own and knowing with absolute certainty there is complete reciprocity, but not to the point of relinquishing our agency. To have patience and not take offense where none is intended or internalize the misbehavior of others.
Loyalty
Be true, steadfast, and immovable in our relationships with God, Family, and Freedom. To remember our spiritual DNA as God’s children and then “Be loyal to the royal within.”
Integrity
Be courageous, stand up, and do the right thing despite possible negative consequences. To be honest, forthright, and true to our word.
Respect
Mutually honor and defend the rights of others even when we disagree.
Truth
Always seek an understanding of reality and never be afraid to do the hard work of learning. Challenge our beliefs regularly, then have the courage to change as new information is revealed. Seek facts and avoid operating on assumptions.
Tenacity
Keep pursuing something you believe in. Have the courage to work hard and keep fighting even when it looks like you may be whipped. You may lose a battle, but the war is never lost until you surrender and quit.
Sovereignty
Personal sovereignty is a fundamental premise in God’s plan for our happiness. He granted unto us the right of free choice to act for ourselves. Our quest is to bend personal will to God’s will and allow Him to prevail in our lives. No man has the right to steal that agency. Our duty is to claim, exercise, and defend our sovereignty.
Action
We put forth our very best effort as we exercise our agency to act and not be acted upon. When unsure what to do, get to work and start moving, having faith the right path will be revealed.
