New Years Goals and resolutions

The world is big into making new years resolutions. The usual ones have to do with more self-discipline, better time management, more kindness, etc. There is a biblical basis to make resolutions: "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 Thessalonians 1:11-12).

Jonathan Edwards made seventy resolutions as a young man. Nathan Busenitz over at Pulpit Magazine does a great job of categorizing them into ten overall goals that every Christian should have for the new year. It is worth reading and posting somewhere so that you can keep these goals in front of you not only this week but 365/24/7.
