Happy New Year


Happy New Year!  I hope you all enjoyed a blessed Christmas holiday with your loved ones and that 2010 is off to a great start for you!

Last week, my assistant, Jen, brought these resolutions of Jonathan Edwards to my attention.  Jonathan Edwards was a man after God’s heart who truly desired to live the best life that he could.  And those of you who know me well will recognize many similarities between Edwards’ resolutions and the way that I challenge and examine my own life and vision.  Now, while I personally wouldn’t commit to reading these resolutions daily, or even weekly, there is an important lesson here:  these seventy (!!) resolutions are Jonathan Edwards’ Lifeonaire vision for his life.  The process of reading them over and over forced him to examine his life on a regular basis and allowed him to see where he was falling short, contemplate those shortcomings, and take the necessary steps to improve.

This is exactly the process of Lifeonaire.  As Lifeonaires, we desire to live a full, joyful life!  It is imperative that we know what we want our lives to look like it and continually re-examine our progress.  Take a few moments now to read through these resolutions and let them inspire YOU to become the person you desire to be in 2010.

To your success,
Steve

    Great to bring this up Shawn!Actually I think the #1 resolution is enough! It can take care of all the others. If God is the only power that fills all space and orchestrates everybody’s life precisely in perfection, and we wholeheartly trust this power of ALL GOOD, knowing that directs and governs our life completely, then that’s enough! Life is much more simple than we think, we tend to make it way too complicated…
    Blessings,

    Great post Steve! I attend John Piper’s church and he is a huge Jonathan Edwards fan. I encourage everyone to read these resolutions by Edwards.
