24-7 Prayer Rule of Life
As a local expression of 24-7 Prayer we share a common rule of life.
A rule of life is like a garden trellis. A trellis is simple a structure that adds strength and support to garden plants. A climbing rose, for example, is technically able to grow without a trellis. But with the extra support, however, it can flourish and blossom exponentially. A rule of life - that is, a statement of values and core practices - functions the same way. It provides structure to support spiritual growth. Like a trellis, a rule of life does not have life in itself. It only supports our life in God and enables a greater flourishing in the Kingdom of God.
As a 24-7 community, GOHOP shares three core commitments and six practices.
We are committed to...
- being true to Christ,
- practicing kindness to all people and
- sharing the gospel.
From these there commitments we embrace six practices:
- prayer,
- worship,
- mission,
- justice,
- learning and
- creativity.
