2005!

BY STEVE NIEMEIER

A new year and no doubt new resolutions for our lives have been made.  Are we dedicated to keeping these resolutions?  Are they resolutions that will help us grow in our spiritual lives or do they all pertain to physical improvements?  New resolutions are good be let us remember to focus on what is important and what God wants us to focus on (Matthew 6:33) for if we do and we work hard to keep our resolutions then our reward of mercy will be worth the effort (Hebrews 12:22-23).
