Seven Pillars of Culture
|
Respect |
|
| Order Psalms 37:23; 1 Corinthians 14:40 The ability to put persons or things into their proper places in relation to each other; a straightening out so as to eliminate confusion. |
|
| Unity Psalms 133:1; Ephesians 4:3, 13 The state of being one, being in concord, evidencing harmony. Seeking peace through common ground and the pull of major areas of agreement, rather than dividing over our differences and minor points of divergence. This does not repel diversity but rather rejoices in it. |
| Diligence Proverbs 4:23; 2 Peter 1:5 Displaying the attention and care expected or required of a person. |
|
| Humility 1 Peter 5:5; Acts 20:19 The state or quality of being humble; freedom from pride and arrogance; lowliness of mind; a modest estimate of one’s own worth; a sense of one’s own unworthiness through imperfection and sinfulness; self-abasement; humbleness. |
| Integrity Exodus 20:16; 1 Peter 2:12 Having uprightness of character or action; a refusal to lie, steal or deceive in any way; trustworthiness and incorruptibility to a degree that one is incapable of being false to a trust, responsibility, or pledge. |
|
| Courage Joshua 1:6, 9; Psalms 31:24 That quality of mind which enables one to encounter danger and difficulties with firmness, or without fear, or fainting of heart; valor; boldness; resolution. |
