The 11 Ethics of the Christian Soul

1. If God starts a work within us, we must remain confident He will finish it.
2. We labor in His Kingdom with joy for every task - big or small, easy or hard, paid or unpaid, whether for applause or derision, and whether unto life or unto death.
3. We are compliant and submissive to The Word of God and to the leading of the Spirit of Christ Jesus, and we accept the most difficult tasks without question.
4. We stay alert, focused, and on task - sober-minded always. We do not grow tired or weary and we give no space to lethargy in our souls.
5. We control our tongue, only speaking that which edifies others and that which glorifies our King.
6. We seek the spiritual and practical profit of those about us. We work not for applause, notoriety, and/or promotion. We treat others as more important than ourselves.
7. We cease from labor and enter into rest at God’s bidding, and are always willing to sit at His feet, as Mary, and listen to His Word even if everyone around us is bustling about and busy.
8. We must do our work (our study, our spiritual preparation, our praying, our serving, our preaching, our evangelizing, etc.) with excellence and do everything as an act of
   thanksgiving unto our King.
9. We must be marked by perfect integrity - without spot or blemish in our conscience, in our behavior, in our attitudes, or in our actions.
10. We must be persistent in faith until the realities of heaven have reached this earth and transcended this natural realm.
11. We must not overlook the small things, but rather give special attention to the little people about us.

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present
your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your
reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be you
transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that
good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:1-2
