Student Ministry - January 2021
Dear Church Family,
Every January people come up with resolutions to help better their lives for the coming year. I wanted to share the first six of the most famous resolutions ever made by one of the godliest pastors who ever lived, Jonathan Edwards. He made and lived 70 resolutions throughout his life, but here are some of the most important ones:
1. Resolved, that I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God’s glory, and my own good, profit and pleasure, in the whole of my duration, without any consideration of the time, whether now, or never so many myriad’s of ages hence. Resolved to do whatever I think to be my duty and most for the good and advantage of mankind in general. Resolved to do this, whatever difficulties I meet with, how many and how great so ever.
2. Resolved, to be continually endeavoring to find out some new invention and contrivance to promote the aforementioned things.
3. Resolved, if ever I shall fall and grow dull, so as to neglect to keep any part of these Resolutions, to repent of all I can remember, when I come to myself again.
4. Resolved, never to do any manner of thing, whether in soul or body, less or more, but what tends to the glory of God; nor be, nor suffer it, if I can avoid it.
5. Resolved, never to lose one moment of time; but improve it the most profitable way I possibly can.
6. Resolved, to live with all my might, while I do live.
I hope these bless you and prepare you well for 2021.
Sincerely,
Pastor Brian Van Doren
