- Wrap-up
Needs #1 & #2
- Need to know Christ (Don't Bait-n-Switch, it is not about the fun, it is about the Lord)
- Stillness
- Silence before prayer
- Need to know who they truly are
- We don't want our kids to have a "Road to Damascus" experience like St. Paul.
- We give sports activity a priority over church activity. We focus on offering our kids the best shot at getting into college.
- Practice self-emptying. The second need is met when the first is met.
- Shed the false identity. Humility in place of self-centeredness. God at the core.
- Practices: Fasting (without self-creation in a secular 3 world). Fasting from cell-phones.
- Confession is self-emptying.
