Code of Ethics |
|
Christian Internet Code
of Ethics
As a Christian who is active on the
internet, I hold myself to certain standards
of conduct. They are:
I guard my online relationships
I recognize that attachments develop as
easily on the internet as anywhere else, and
sometimes more easily because of the
anonymity involved in initial exchanges. I
particularly guard against relationships
that encroach upon the level of trust and
faithfulness that is to exist only within a
husband/wife relationship.
I am careful to visit websites that do
not compromise my life in Christ
I am aware that there are sites on the
internet that Christians must avoid,
including those that contain pornography. I
do not visit such sites, even out of
curiosity. When, by accident (and it happens
to everyone), I find such a page loading, I
leave it immediately.
I take care that my written
communications reflect Christ in my life
Even on issues about which I feel
passionate, I avoid saying things that I
feel might be displeasing to the Lord. I
represent myself, and my intentions in a
truthful and upright manner in all my
exchanges.
I guard my time to assure that my time
online is kept in proper balance with the
rest of my life
I realize that the internet can consume time
that should be invested elsewhere: family,
church, work responsibilities, and other
activities that make for a well rounded
life. I especially guard against spending
time on the internet that should be spent
with the Lord.
