Dad's 9 Rules for Living

by Frank Walton

1. Put God first. We exist for His glory and then to enjoy Him forever (Jn 17:3). Prov 9:10
2. Follow Jesus daily. He became as we are, in order to make us like He is (I Jn 2:6) Jn 14:6
3. Study the Bible regularly. Scripture is God's one and only guidebook to eternity (Acts 20:32). Psa 119:105
4. Pray constantly. It keeps us close to heaven's pure air for the soul (Rom 12:12). Heb 4:16
5. Think hopefully. Our life is what our thoughts make it (Prov 17:22). Prov 4:23
6. Improve yourself consistently. With God's help, you can make the best of any situation (Phil 4:13). Phil 3:14
7. Do the right thing always. Character is the sum of all our choices (Prov 27:19). Prov 4:18
8. Treat others lovingly. God put us on earth to help lift others up to heaven (Matt 7:12). Matt 5:16
9. Be a faithful member of Christ's Church. Jesus is counting on you to carry on His work by exercising your talents in His one body (Eph 4:16). Rev 2:10
