The Ten Pillars of the Sanctuary
These are not laws, but the heartbeat of our walk with God:
Our Core Principles – The Ten Pillars of the Sanctuary
1. Surrender – We lay down our self-reliance, and need for control, acknowledging their failure and our desire to seek spiritual principles.
2. Faith – We seek the presence of a loving God who can restore our souls to wholeness, acknowledging God, as we understand God, to be the source of life, truth, and love.
3. Confession – We seek to accept the truth about ourselves with honesty and courage, knowing that only in truth can we draw nearer to God.
4. Responsibility – We take ownership of our own struggles in order to heal and amend our lives and relationships.
5. Humility – We do not elevate ourselves above others, knowing that grace is a gift, not a reward. We walk with grace, not pride.
6. Obedience – We commit to walk in the light we are given, day by day, trusting that God will continue to lead us in truth.
7. Restoration / Forgiveness – We seek to become peacemakers by pursuing healing in ourselves and reconciliation with others through the grace of forgiveness. As we were forgiven, so too do we practise forgiving others and releasing resentment and shame.
8. Awareness – We practice daily reflection, listening for God’s messages found in others, in the world around us, or directly from the Holy Spirit. We seek to remain teachable.
9. Communion – We deepen our connection to God through prayer, meditation, stillness, creativity, awareness and presence.
10. Service – We freely carry what we’ve received from God to others in love, offering experience and service, not preaching.
