A Different Kind of New Years Resolution


This time of year a lot of folks have made a “new year resolution”. If you consider yourself a Christian I have a suggestion for one you probably have not considered. Confirm your beliefs for yourself.

          This is not as simple as it sounds since most folks believe what they do because they were raised to believe in them. They then go thru life convinced in beliefs they have never researched for themselves. To complicate matters these beliefs are then often reinforced because they then associate with others that hold those same unconfirmed beliefs.

          Consider what it would be like if folks like Luther had not studied for themselves. Do you believe all your sins are forgiven by the blood of Jesus? That is not what Jesus says. Read the gospels for yourself and you will see this. Do you believe the Law is done away with? That is not what Jesus says. Read the gospels for yourself and you will see this.

          It is your own soul that is at risk. Do you love YHWH enough to learn for yourself what He expects from you?
