10 commandments for maintaining moral integrity
a while back i did a post about a message dino rizzo spoke at our men's bible study, and in it i referred to a list of 10 commandments for sexual purity that we use here on the staff at hpc. a few people asked me to post that list, so here it is. it is hardly a definitive work on the subject, but it certainly would help if we all stuck to these:
- Thou shalt not go to lunch alone with the opposite sex.
- Thou shalt not have the opposite sex pick you up or drive you places when it is just the two of you.
- Thou shalt not kiss any member of the opposite sex or show affection that could be questioned.
- Thou shalt not visit the opposite sex alone at home.
- Thou shalt not counsel the opposite sex without accountability and openness in your office, and must not have extended counseling with the same person of the opposite sex.
- Thou shalt not discuss detailed sexual problems with the opposite sex in counseling. Refer them.
- Thou shalt not discuss your marriage problems with a member of the opposite sex.
- Thou shalt be careful in answering emails, instant messages, chatrooms, cards, or letters from the opposite sex.
- Thou shalt find a protective ally on staff (administrative assistant, person in the office next door, friend on staff).
- Thou shalt pray for the integrity of other staff members.
