We are Christ's ambassadors and Citizens of Heaven, called out of the world to preach Heaven's message (2 Corinthians 5:20, Philippians 3:20 and 2 Corinthians 6:17).

Our word is true. Our yes's are "yes," and our no's are "no" (Matthew 5:37).
Debt Free. We owe no man anything but the continuing debt to love one another (Romans 13:8)
Married until parted by death. There is no divorce and remarriage (Luke 16:18).
Parents instruct their children. They are directly responsible for training them up in the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).
Known as a giver, not a taker. We give and it is given back to us in good measure (Luke 6:38).
Love our enemies. We do good to those who hate us. We bless them and pray for them (Matthew 5:44).
No lawsuits. We do not seek courts of law as a remedy for wrongs done (1 Corinthians 6:1-8).
Busy storing treasures in Heaven. Our heart is on the heavenly things, not on earthly treasures (Matthew 6:20).

Treat others the way we want to be treated. We put ourselves in the other one's shoes and respond accordingly (Matthew 7:12).
Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven. We are not here to seek money, property, popularity, honors, or advantage. We diligently seek and promote the Kingdom of Heaven, trusting God to supply our every need (Matthew 6:33).
Separate from secular government. We do not participate in worldly politics, elections, or debates about their governments (2 Timothy 2:4).
Our citizenship is in Heaven. We acknowledge that the Kingdom of Heaven is God's Government and is the only one that is everlasting (Philippians 3:20, Luke 1:33).
Observe chain of command. In the Church and in the family, we respect chain of command (1 Peter 5, 1 Corinthians 11, Ephesians 6, Hebrews 13:17). We follow our Shepherd and flee from strangers (John 10:5, 27).
