1. Make A New Start Each Day - Forgiveness for the past
Hope in Christ for the future
His risen presence and resurrection power with us today
2. Keep Short Accounts - Take inventory frequently
Promptly admit it when you are wrong
Seek God's forgiveness and other person's
Make amends whenever possible, except when to do so will injure more than help
Forgive those who have injured you

Christ comes to people through people
7. Witness To The Love Of God, The Grace Of God In Jesus Christ - Daily
Don't hesitate to use your own experience and the experience of others to tell what Christ has done ... what Christ can do
8. Find Areas Of Need - around you. Expand your horizon
Seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself.
With God's help strive for justice and peace among all people, respecting the dignity of every human being
