You must have a good attitude,
And never trying to be rude;
As well as being a two-face,
That would really be a disgrace.
Never be addicted to drugs,
Or getting involved with some thugs;
Do not ever get drunk at night;
Waking with a harlot in sight.
Do not use any shameful ways,
Forgiving sins if each one pays;
But you must keep your conscience clear,
On your Christian faith without fear.
Your spouse must show fete and respect,
The Word of God never neglect;
Manage all of your children well,
And in the Word they have to dwell.
Those who will be serving the Lord,
Must be also in one accord;
Gain excellent reputation,
Which will give you accreditation.
This will be building confidence,
Within your faith as a defense;
For Jesus Christ will be your shield,
That will make evil powers yield.
The family of the Lord must live,
Learning how to love and forgive;
As being members of the church,
Through His Word study and research.
Never to boast or be uncouth,
For the foundation of the truth;
For the church of the living God,
Is where you must honor and laud.
Remember it is not a curse,
But a choice of better or worse;
For the mystery you merit,
Had approval from His Spirit.
