Jonathan Edwards' Resolutions
The summer after I graduated from college, when I was 21, I was helped a great deal by Jonathan Edwards' Resolutions. When Edwards was still a young man, he layed out 70 resolutions that went on to shape how he lived the rest of his life. I'm of the personality where, so long as I root resolutions in the truth of the gospel, I benefit a great deal from them. Actually, during that difficult summer in which reading Edwards was of such help to me, after a good deal of prayer and reflection, I wrote up a list of resolutions for myself. These resolutions are still proving helpful to me 7 years later.As some of you ponder the possibility of making some resolutions for 2007, it might be of help for you to read through Edwards' Resolutions.(HT: Michael Foster)
