2021-Feb-02 Meeting Notes

Agenda:

1. Prayer
2. Start discussions around Needs #1 & #2
3. What to do for a stronger family ministry since home is where it all starts?
4. Wrap-up

Needs #1 & #2

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