After our morning break, we heard from Dave Stone.

Kids can bring the worst out in parents and leaders.

Psalm 127:4-5-Kid needs to be sharpened, straightened, aimed, released

"Three Gifts Every Child Needs"

•  Value-We don't ascribe value to anyone but ourselves. 
• We need to make certain we have a concern for the church tomorrow or we won't have power in church today. 
• Every night my parents would pray for me and I would fall asleep not wondering if God would use me but instead how God will use me.
• We attach value as we use people's names.
•  Extend Grace To One Another
• Help others know you want to get involved in their life.
• People are messy. We must extend grace.
• Because Jesus extends grace to me, I must extend grace to others.
• We show grace because we need grace. We must be on the lookout for people we can show grace to.
• God will put people in your path.  Will we show grace to them?
• We understand God's grace.  We understand showing others grace. But we have a hard time receiving grace ourselves.
•  Show Love To One Another
• We try to handle things in power of flesh rather than the Spirit.
• Activity for Christ does not equal intimacy with Christ.  You can do.  But first you must be.
• If Holy Spirit pulled out of our life, would we even miss Him?
• If Satan reminds you of your past, remind him of his future. 
• Satan knows your name but he calls you by your sin; Jesus knows your sin but calls you by your name.
• Romans 8:1-There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
