CREATIVE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS

 

According to the Wall Street Journal, two-thirds of all New Year’s Resolutions have already been broken by the end of January. Maybe the secret is to make a resolution which God will help you keep.

Since God revealed Himself to us in His Word over the course of centuries, He would certainly be pleased to help us keep a resolution to increase our knowledge of Him through a study of the Word.

Fifty-two DARES, founded on the attributes of God, and designed to transform your knowledge of God into practical action to the praise of His glory, fits perfectly with that resolution. Your path to keeping that resolution can be followed through the use of the book Dare to Walk on Water: Treasuring God.

Discover a God without limits, God in Tri-Unity, God All-wise, God our Joy, and forty-eight other attributes which should transform not only your mind, but your actions.

Dare to Walk on Water: Treasuring God can be purchased from Amazon.com or from the Bible Story Family, PO Box 28342, Minneapolis, MN 55428, for $12.99. Order through the Bible Story Family and I will pay the postage.

Resolutions are good if we keep them. Resolutions are even better if God helps us keep them. Those are the best resolutions for the New Year.

Five siblings came to them from various states where they had been in foster care. Kim and Kevin welcomed them into a loving home, choosing to keep the brothers and sister together as a family unit.   In addition to taking on the sudden responsibility of a large family, Kim found herself needing surgery for a goiter which was severely impacting her oxygen intake. Then they received word that another sibling would be born in April of 2024. Their hearts longed to add the new boy to their expanding family, but health, finances, and the lack of more room in their SUV seemed to say no.   After the surgery, Kim found out she could breathe again, and the outlook began to change.  It was time to make room for eight. When the already-loved baby arrived, Kim went to the hospital while Kevin drove to Florida to pi
