New Year Resolutions vs. New Life Resolutions

Three hundred years ago, Jonathan Edwards penned his life's resolutions.

These have stood the test of time and proven to be far superior to the New Year's resolutions that most of us make today.

In all, he wrote 70 life resolutions - all of which could transform anyone's life today if they were to apply them.

The proof is in the pudding: Jonathan Edwards' life legacy still stands as proof positive of the immense impact he had on religion, philosophy, academia, and even politics.

Memorable Quotes:

"If you are fully sold out to God, He will take your weaknesses and work them into strengths."- S.Richard

“If you don’t go within, you will go without.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Our wish and prayer for you on this New Year is that you would “prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” ~ 3 John 2

“God’s purpose for my life was that I have a passion for God’s glory and that I have a passion for my joy in that glory, and that these two are one passion.” - Jonathan Edwards

"When we work on our character instead, these other resolutions (like lose weight, or quit smoking, or make friends) usually take care of themselves."

"A strong moral character, seasoned with the pursuit of God, will enable you to accomplish so much more every year than anything that is done outwardly in your own strength as a New Year’s resolution."- S.Richard

"And this goes very well with the values we espouse here at Thriving on Purpose, which are best summed up by our tagline of "Digging Deeper to Climb Higher. "

"As I read though Edwards’ resolutions, I realized that any one of those is not only a challenge, but would actually contribute a great deal to building up Godly character."

"Did you make an outward resolution or are you inwardly RESOLVED? The choice is yours and so will be the results."
