Honor Code

As an essential part of the Journey Church family, you have a responsibility to develop and exhibit mature Christian behavior. This should be the basic premise of your desire to participate in the dream team here at Journey. HONOR GODWhen we live a life of integrity, patterned after the life of Christ, we honor God. As Christians, we are adopted as sons and daughters in God’s House. As the Dream Team, we are appointed as leaders in God’s House.1 Peter 2:12 (NIV) - “Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day He visits us.” Exemplifying the highest moral commitment, Journey’s leaders are to maintain a disciplined life of Bible reading, prayer, and fasting. You must also refrain from such things as: <ul><li>Excessive Profanity</li><li>Indulging in too much wine or other alcoholic beverages</li><li>Smoking or chewing tobacco</li><li>Dishonest gain</li><li>Illegal drugs</li><li>Pornography</li><li>Sexual immorality – any sexual act outside of the context of Biblical marriage</li><li>All behaviors which might cause Christ to grieve and others to stumble</li></ul> By providing an example in speech and action, we encourage others to grow in Christ and become servants-leaders themselves. This is a way of life measured by the heart and commitment of each leader in the Journey Church family. We should regard it as an essential part of our development, not as an imposition or restriction.HONOR HIS HOUSEHonor the way God directs us to build His House. In 1 Timothy, Paul provides a description of the character that is to be exhibited in Church leaders. Not perfection — character. And he instructs us to give a “close examination” of people before we appoint them as leaders. Journey Church has implemented the Honor Code as a tool in building a healthy Church.RECEIVING WATER BAPTISM John 3:5 (NLT) - “Jesus replied, ‘I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God with- out being born of water and the Spirit.’”&nbsp;PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNION 1 Corinthians 11:26 (ESV) - “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you pro- claim the Lord’s death until he comes.” SUPPORTING BIBLICAL MARRIAGE Matthew 19:4-6 (NIV) - “Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” FAITHFULLY TITHE Matthew 6:21 (NLT) - “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.”HONOR THE LEADERSHIP OF THE CHURCH. Hebrews 13:17 - “Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you.” HONOR HIS PEOPLE. To do this, we need to know who and where people are. Though each of us comes into God’s House wounded, God irons out every blemish and wrinkle in order to present us to Himself holy and spotless.Romans 14:19 (PH) - “So let us concentrate on the things which make for harmony, and on the growth of our fellowship together.” As Christians, the way we present ourselves to others is of vital importance to the way others perceive Christ. Our conduct should never be an embarrassment to Christ, but should exemplify the best qualities of a mature believer and servant-leader.&nbsp;

Your Secondary Trait

“C”s are compliant and analytical. Careful and logical lines of thinking drive them forward, and accuracy is a top priority. They hold high standards and value systematic approaches to problem solving. Though they thrive when given opportunities to find solutions, they tend to ignore the feelings of others and can often be critical and downright crabby. Verbalizing feelings is difficult for them, but when they are not bogged down in details and have clear-cut boundaries, they can be big assets to the team by providing calculated “reality checks”. The “C”s biggest fear is criticism, and their need for perfectionism is often a weakness, as is their tendency to give in when in the midst of an argument. However, they are thorough in all activities and can bring a conscientious, even-tempered element to the team that will provide solid grounding. They value being correct the most

“C/D”s are cautious and determined designers who are consistently task-oriented and very aware of problems. Sometimes viewed as insensitive, they do care about individual people but have a difficult time showing it.
