lifestyle statement
Those who commit themselves to missions must first develop a love for Jesus and be committed to His command to go and make disciples. Second, they must be willing to do whatever is required in order to reach people for Jesus and develop a strong faith that will carry them through challenges and difficulties.
In light of this, students at Bethany are not to live in sexual immorality, impurity, lust, drunkenness, selfish ambition, greed, idolatry, witchcraft, jealousy, envy, hatred, anger, rage, discord, dissension, factions, slander, filthy language, lying or prejudice, but are to rid themselves of these things. (Galatians 5:19-21 & Colossians 3:5-9)
Love is the principle by which we seek to live, honoring others above ourselves and not engaging in behavior that might be a cause for stumbling or offense. In addition, we ask that students be careful not to participate in activities that desensitize their conscience or hinder spiritual growth.
