So what you have promised yourself this New Year ? Some major life change , a modest tweak or nothing at all . I read in James yesterday : ‘ You will be judged on whether or not you are doing what Christ wants you to .’ (2 : 12)
Ultimately , I think , people commit to what they believe in .
So , this year , like every year , you will commit to what you really believe . Not just what you say you believe , but what you really believe . The uncommitted are unbelievers .
James and his epistle – dismissed by Luther as ‘ the epistle of straw ‘ , because of James` emphasis that faith always produces actions (works) – does however strike the right balance between what we say and what we do .
You will be resolute about what you really believe and therefore act upon , or irresolute if it`s just another good idea or another brilliantly impressive unimplemented plan .
My friend , George Ridley , says : “I like what I`m doing , a whole lot more than what you are talking about doing…”
Come on Now ! Let`s say “Amen” make a plan and do it !
[...] RESOLUTE OR IRRESOLUTE….? [...]
