ZION'S STANDARDS - A Preamble

One must believe that the Patriarchal Order of Family is the manner in which the Gods live and eternal Families are organized in order to adopt these Standards as your own. The Lord has laid down Laws and set Standards for us as part of His Family, not to oppress us nor deny us happiness, but to help us progress and to bring us joy. We, too, in turn should study the set types that the Lord God has provided for us in the Scriptures and commit to follow them and to emulate these Principles in our own Families in order to show unto the Lord that we seek to do his will and, in turn, hope to one day obtain the blessing from His hands by having our Families sealed together for eternity unto the Lord. You hereby promise to make these Standards and Rules, each and every principle, a matter of mighty Prayer.

Upholding these Standards in our Families is intended to promote righteousness, unity, peace, harmony, repentance, love and to give us common direction not only as a Family, but as a body of Saints striving to one day build the Kingdom of ZION. It is the foundation of personal, as well as, spiritual progression within families. By its nature, the word 'Family' implies Posterity. So these Standards are not only for the intended benefit of Parents, but also for the Children both present and future. For though it is within our agency to choose, we cannot teach Children which choices we believe to be the correct ones, unless we ourselves are willing to live up to the Standards upon which lifetime and even eternal choices are made.

The foundational Standards are those which we know as the Laws of the Gospel. These include the Ten Commandments and all additional Commandments given through Jehoshuah, the Messiah, whether by Himself in His mortal ministry, or through His Prophets, both ancient and in these latter days. Upon these foundational Standards, the Lord has commissioned or called other Servants to dispense additional words through these "Rules of Wisdom." All of these Inspired Principles or Rules address certain Standards of behavior and attitude and are designed to provide further Rules pertaining to Family Loyalty, Personal Integrity and Respect, Personal Accountability, Industriousness, Testimony and an Eternal Commitment to Correct Principles as it applies to Family.
