Resolutions?

Happy New Year! Are you a resolution maker? Many folks are and some are even a bit successful. But it seems that by the end of January most resolutions are history. Please don’t confuse resolutions with spiritual disciplines. (You can read about spiritual disciplines on page 51 of A Fresh Start.) No, spiritual disciplines are not resolutions, but they are an investment of time with the Lord you love to grow deeper in that love.

“Spiritual disciplines are not about making you more precious to God, they’re about making God more precious to you.” 

There are a whole bunch of Spiritual Disciplines, but to me, the big two are prayer and Bible reading. This whole bulletin is designed to give you resources to practice those two spiritual disciplines. The more we read and meditate on the Bible, the easier it becomes to pray, because we know Jesus better, and grow more familiar with God’s language.
