What is your New Years Resolutions…..I googled and compared the Top 10 New Years Resolutions from the last 3 years and every year there were the same ones on there. Quit smoking, dieting, spend more time with family and the all favorite get out of debt. Every year the same resolutions, made by the same people on December 31st every year. I am guilty as anyone of this behavior.

I believe that resolutions are good for one thing, they are good for making and good for breaking. I can not think of any year that the resolutions that I have ever succeeded in keeping. I thing that we need to make one resolution this year and it is an awesome one to keep………………………………GET CLOSER TO GOD…………………………

How do you do that? Read, Pray, Share and Live……..

READ- Read your bible everyday. The best way to learn about the author of a book is to read his works. The bible is a collection of God inspired writings.

PRAY-Pray every day and in most cases more than once a day. I always seem to have time to put in extra time with God even if only for the moment of riding an elevator or walking around the mall. There is always a moment to talk with God.

SHARE-Share your faith in conversations every day. As Christ followers we have the hope that everyone else needs. How can they find it is WE do not share it with them. Every conversation with someone does not have to end with you leading them to Christ sometimes it is just the opportunity to plant a seed.

LIVE-Live life to the fullest and in everything that you do it that it is Glorifying to God. If what we are going to do does not honor God why is it we do it?

I am going to work on this year being one of the best years for God. You will see more of my blogs showing up that it may glorify God and inspire others closer to God.

God Bless,

Pastor Rick
