Every TSF members / leaders should understand and live by
I love you, and accept you as my brothers and sisters, no matter what you say or do, or what you don’t say or don’t do. I will love you in whatever form you come.
(Col. 3:5-14)
I will not hide from what I feel about you, good or bad, but I will seek in the timing of the Spirit to deal openly and directly with you in a loving and forgiving way, so that you are affirmed when in need.
(Eph. 4:25-32)
I will open myself to you inwardly my hurts, joys, hopes, disappointments; I will affirm you by needing you and making you a part of my inner life.
(Lk. 11:37 – 41)
Particularly in our gatherings, but throughout the week as well, I promise to make your needs more important than my own- as we talk, worship and pray together. I will pray daily and diligently for you; I will work to be sensitive to the Spirit concerning you.
(Phil. 2:1-11)
I will seek to serve you with my time, energy, wisdom, finances and material goods. When you need my physical aid, I will be present with anything I have.
(Acts 2:43-47)
I will regard the time which my group spends together weekly as time under the discipling hand of Jesus in our midst. I will not grieve the Spirit or hinder his work in the lives of my brothers and sisters by my absence, except in emergency. By His permission and through prayer alone will I consider absence.
(Lk. 9:57-62)
I can give you the right question, confront, and challenge me in love when I seem to be failing in any aspect of my life under God. I trust you to be in the Spirit and led by Him when you do so. I need your correction and reproof so that I may ever better fulfill my God-given ministry among you. I promise not to be defensive.
(Ez. 3:16-21 /& Mt. 18:12-20)
I realize that much of what we share would be harmful to you who shared it, were it repeated in other company; therefore personal matters stop here. I will confine our sharing of personal matters within our Kawan. I will say nothing outside the group that might be injurious or embarrassing for anyone of you.
(Prov. 10:9, 11:9; 13; 12:23: 13:3; 15:4; 18:6-8)
I promise to find ways to sacrifice myself for those outside our fellowship in the same way that I have promised to sacrifice myself for you, my brothers and sisters. I will treat unbelievers exactly as if they were believers. I will do it in Jesus’ Name so that others are added to the kingdom of God in His love
(Mt. 25:31-46)
May the Lord grant us the grace of His Spirit to fulfill our vow forever, so help us God.
