No, I don’t, but not for religious reasons.  For me, it’s a practical matter.  In the past the resolutions I’ve made (to read the bible more, or to exercise more or what have you), all ended up in the grave of good intentions.  As I talk to folks around me, they seem to have similar experiences.

Instead, I make a daily resolution:  to follow Christ more closely by living more obediently to His Word.  This is the heart of Christianity, daily focusing our energy into applying Christ’s teachings to the circumstances of life.  This resolution can be followed at work or play, with family or alone.  In every circumstance my goal is the same:  to follow Him by obeying Him.

Christ said, My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me, (John 10:27).    As you ponder your New Year’s resolutions, why not make your resolution to daily follow Christ?  In doing so we find a rewarding life, and receive eternal life.
