Pray for our search team as well as our singers, our musicians, our leaders as we enter this new phase of worship and music in the New Year! Christian Resolutions for the New Year Like Paul, forget those things which are behind and press forward. Like David, lift up my eyes to the hills from which my help comes. Like Abraham, trust my God implicitly. Like Enoch, walk in daily fellowship with my heavenly Father. Like Moses, suffer rather than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time. Like Job, be patient and faithful in all circumstances. Like Joseph, turn my back on all evil advances. Like Gideon, advance even when my friends are few. Like Andrew, strive to lead my brother to Christ. -- Biblical Illustrator This year, I resolve to... 1. Gain weight. 2. Stop exercising. 3. Read less. 4. Watch more TV. 5. Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow. 6. Never make New Year s resolutions again. Happy New Year and God Bless You in 2019!
