Kids Know How to Sin – It is your job to teach them to be Christians (Christ like)
1. What on earth are you here for?
- Life is preparation for eternity.
- There is Heaven. There is hell. There is earth with a little bit of both.
- What unique gift did God give you to share with this world?
- Prepare yourself for opportunites: career, marriage, purpose, Heaven.
- Never try to be better than someone else, but never stop trying to be the best you can be.
- CANI — Constant and Never Ending Improvement
- Make each day your masterpiece.
- Develop good habits.
"Good better best; never let it rest, 'til your good becomes
better and your better becomes best."
2. Serve rather than deserve
-Treat people the way you would like to be treated.
-When you disagree, don't be disagreeable
-Be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
-Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
-Listen to understand, not to respond.
-Make friendship a fine art.
-Respect authority.
-Don't condemn others just because they sin differently than you.
-Life isn't fair. Praise the Lord!! – Just think if God gave us what we deserve.
3. Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't steal. Don't whine. Don't complain. Don't make excuses.
- Don't be a victim – things turn out best for those who make the best of the way things turn out.
– Be a victor — overcome the obstacles you've been presented with.
4. Christians aren't perfect, just forgiven
- If you like being forgiven, you should forgive others.
- Go and sin no more. (Improve your habits.)
5. Keep your priorities in order.

"No written word, no spoken plea,
Can teach our youth what they should be,
Nor all the books upon the shelves,
It's what the teachers and parents are themselves."
Build the home…change the world.
