Whether you're on the side that believes it is pointless to make a resolution or you're the one who makes them year in and year out, you're both right. If the idea is that NYR's are dumb because by February you either don't remember what it is, or are no longer committed to it... you're right. On the other hand if you feel it's a good idea to make goals and to attempt to be better than you were the year before...you're right. I've done both. I've made new year's resolutions to stop cursing...HA! "not yet" and I've just gone into a new year without. I think NYR's are fine as long as you're resolving to do better.
While me cutting back on my profanity is a good idea, a better idea, is for me to pray more. While me saving more is a great idea, a better idea is for me to TITHE more. Is it clearer now? My suggestion is to not resolve to be better just for yourself, help someone out in the process. We've gotta move from self to others. If you're a follower of Christ, at some point you've gotta push yourself to do more for and in him. Love God, love yourself and love others. That's the best resolution you can give. Only what we do for God will last.
