IV – Thou shall not compromise your spiritual convictions and allow the devil to get a foothold on your life. “And do not give the devil a foothold.” Ephesians 4:27

VI – Thou shall allow your lifestyle to be a testimony to all people. “. . . so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders.” I Thess. 4:12

X. Thou shall raise up your standard of living through repentance and righteousness. “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 14:17
