Religion

As we enter into 2016, we often find ourselves wanting to do better. January is a time of New Year resolutions, that many are forgotten in the first week. You and I really try hard, but many times we fall short. God knows you are really trying.  Should it be this tough? Why does it still feel this hard?

Many food companies try to persuade people to purchase their brand by marketing with the phrase “Accept no substitutes!” In other words, their product is the best and all others are inferior. In many instances, we will only purchase the “real thing” because we believe the substitutes don’t taste as well.

It’s not too late for us to make a few New Year’s resolutions. In addition to those resolutions to exercise regularly, eat better, save money, get organized and call Mom more often, we can make room on our list for a few more improvements which will help us grow spiritually.

In 2016 we can resolve to ...

1) Be more aware of God’s presence in our life by spending 15–30 minutes a day in quiet prayer.

2) Do your very best to attend services every Sunday.

3) Ask for forgiveness on a daily basis.
