I have a New Year’s tradition of resolving to not make any New Year’s resolutions. So, this year, as in previous years, I’m not making any resolutions at all. This prevents me from failing and I can still live to the glory of God.

Wonderful reminder…timely too! Yes it is a tall order, I am thankful daily for the grace & forgiveness in Christ & want to live my life to glorify Him alone.
“SOLA SCRIPTURA / GRATIA / FIDE / CHRISTUS / DEO GLORIA”
Scripture alone, being our final authority, teaches us that salvation is by grace His grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, for the glory of God alone.

Dear Nathan,

Happy New Year! I really appreciate you for the way you categorized Jonathan Edwards’s resolutions into these 10 categories. 70 Resolutions are hard to remember, but this compact list will be easier to remember. I agree that 2008 should be, as all things should be to the child of God, a year in which we remember that we are not our own but have been purchased with a great price, and we should form all our resolutions accordingly. Edwards set an exemplary example in this regard.

God bless you in the New Year.

“To this end we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of his calling and may fulfill EVERY RESOLVE for good and every work of faith by his power, so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ” 2 Thess 1:11-12.

Sometimes it is nice to know your not alone out there in your thinking. It is also nice to know your thinking is not new, but has been around for centuries.

Thanks for assembling Jonathan Edwards’ resolutions into the 10 categories – these provide a well-rounded focus for our worship of God, and Edwards specific resolutions stimulate personal areas requiring daily resolve. Well written article – I will return to Pulpit Magazine site again!

All for Him!

Thank you brother…
A wonderful New Years wake up call and reminder for all of us. To seek that which is good, proper and noble.. to dwell and live according to these things.

A tall order… relying on God’s grace and our hard work.
Knowing our willpower will ultimately fail us…if it’s all we rely on.
