Plan -- From the beginning God had a plan. He did not make it up as He went along. He knew the beginning from the end. Therefore, a plan of instruction should be implemented and followed.
Order–God does all things orderly and neatly as not to cause confusion or chaos. Therefore, order and neatness within the home and instruction should be promoted to avoid confusion and chaos.
Work – God accomplished His plan through the finished work of Jesus Christ. It is important to develop a work ethic that is done in the confidence and strength of the Lord Jesus Christ, completing our tasks for His Glory.
Evaluate –God communicates through His Word to maintain personal relationships with His children, to remind us of His promises, and to encourage us as we go. Times of evaluations should be used for the same purpose.
Report– Christ made Himself fully accountable, establishing His testimony through His proven work on the cross. Therefore, we should not avoid accountability, but rather establish proof of the work we are claiming.

Love–Establish your own personal relationship with the Lord.
Obey– Submit to those who the Lord has put in authority over you.
Mature–Grow in an attitude that is helpful and not hurtful to those around you.
