RESOLUTE OR IRRESOLUTE….?

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 !
