Making resolutions: some resources to help

by Peter F. Whyte, 17 Jan 2010

It is common practice to make resolutions at the begining of a new year, and even on one's birthday. But often reolutions are broken shortly after they are made. Here are some resources that may help you consider making and keeping resolutions as godly men and women reflect on the practice.

Matt Perman, ‘Resolutions and the New Testament’ (What's Best Next, 18 Aug 2009) ‘Why most people don';t keep their New Year's resolutions—and how to keep yours’ (What's Best Next, 1 Jan 2010)

John Piper, ‘Let's Make Some Autumn Resolutions’ (Desiring God, Resource Library, 12 Aug 2009)
‘New Year's Resolutions? Oops.’ (Desiring God, Resource Library, 24 Mar 1981)
