Resource guidelines

All resources listed on SpiritualUpbringing.com must adhere to the policies laid out below. Serious or repeated violations may lead to account restrictions.

Please check these policies from time to time as they may change. You are responsible for ensuring that your resources do not violate any of these policies.

All of these policies should be considered in addition to our standard Terms and Rules.

To maintain a Christ-centered, edifying, and well-organized platform, we have established the following guidelines for sharing and accessing resources. Please read and adhere to these guidelines to ensure a spiritually enriching experience for all members.

1. Content Alignment with Christian Values

  • All downloadable resources must align with biblical teachings and promote spiritual growth.
  • Resources should uphold sound doctrine, reflect Christian ethics, and encourage righteous living.
  • Avoid content that promotes false teachings, divisive doctrines, or contradicts core Christian beliefs.

2. Quality and Accuracy of Resources

  • Ensure that eBooks, sermon notes, devotionals, and other materials are biblically sound and doctrinally accurate.
  • Cite credible Christian authors, ministries, or sources when sharing theological content.
  • Misleading, plagiarized, or doctrinally unsound materials will not be permitted.

3. Respect for Copyright and DMCA Compliance

  • Only share free or legally distributable resources. No pirated, copyrighted, or unauthorized materials are allowed.
  • If sharing external content, ensure you have permission or provide the official source link.
  • Personal or church-created resources are encouraged as long as they follow copyright laws.
  • If you believe a resource violates copyright laws, you may file a DMCA takedown request, and we will review and remove infringing content as required by law.

4. Categorization and Proper Formatting

  • Upload resources in their appropriate categories (e.g., Bible Study eBooks, Sermon eBooks, Prayer Guides).
  • Use clear titles and descriptions to help users understand the content before downloading.
  • PDFs, ePub, and other widely accepted formats are preferred for easy access.

5. Edifying and Encouraging Discussions

  • Discussions about shared resources should be respectful, encouraging, and edifying.
  • Constructive feedback is welcome, but criticism should be given with love and biblical guidance.
  • If disagreements arise, handle them in a Christlike manner with scriptural backing.

6. No Commercial or Self-Promotional Content

  • Resources should focus on spiritual growth and should not primarily aim at selling or marketing products.
  • Personal ministry content is welcome, but excessive self-promotion is discouraged.
  • If sharing resources that require payment, provide an official link and be transparent about the cost. Ensure the focus remains on spiritual growth, not on commercial promotion.

7. Moderation and Reporting

  • The forum moderators will review shared resources to ensure compliance with these guidelines.
  • If you find a resource that violates the guidelines, report it for review.
  • Repeated violations may result in restrictions or removal from the forum.

8. Encouragement to Share and Grow

  • Feel free to contribute resources that have blessed you in your spiritual journey.
  • Engage in discussions to encourage others and learn from shared wisdom.
  • Let’s build each other up in faith as we grow together in Christ!
