Terms of use

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. … Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.
Ephesians 4:1-2, 14-16

The apostle Paul wants the Christians at the Ephesian church to live in a way that glorifies Christ by being humble, gentle, patient, and by speaking the truth in love. This will result in their maturing into Christ, and their unity as members of His body.

We want our relating in the MOD (Moore Online Diploma) to embody this. We want to provide a safe and encouraging setting where we help each other in a loving learning community. We need to be humble, gentle, and patient with each other, particularly as communicating through an online medium poses specific challenges. We need to speak the truth in love with each other. Truth matters, and the way we speak it matters. We should relate with the aim of building each other up. We pray that the MOD will be used to grow us into Christ and unite us as we learn together, although separated geographically.
