Christian Internet Code of Ethics

As a Christian who is active on the internet, I hold myself to certain standards of conduct.

They are:

1) 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.

2) I particularly guard against relationships that encroach upon the level of trust and faithfulness that is to exist only
within a husband/wife relationship.

3) 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.

4) 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.

5)I represent myself, and my intentions in a truthful and upright manner in all my exchanges.

6) 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.

7) I especially guard against spending time on the internet that should be spent with the Lord.
