The 12 Life Commitments
Below is the text of a document that several people have asked me to pass along to them. Maybe it will be helpful to post here as well. These are the basic commitments of those who are a part of the church I’m currently planting. But because a stated value means nothing if there is no behavior attached to it (see the book of James), we have created a coaching question that gets at the behavioral aspect of each of the 12 life commitments. By asking each other these questions regularly in our church, we can help each other stay on track.
