Jonathan Edwards made two New Year’s resolution over 350 years ago, which we would do well to adopt in 2023.

Resolution One: I will live for God.

Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.

At the start of a new year, why not make a resolution to live your life in a way that brings glory to God? This is one New Year’s resolution that we really should try to keep!

This week I’ve borrowed a quote form Ruth Carter Stapleton, “Christmas is most truly Christmas when we celebrate it by giving the light of love to those who need it most.” Food for thought.

George Elliot once wrote, “The important work of moving the world forward does not wait to be done by perfect men.” The same is true about us sharing the Gospel. If we wait until the timing is perfect and we have developed a perfect plan, then we will never get started. Jesus told us “To go and make disciples…”. What are we waiting for?
