missio

Having enough sense to know that I can’t do anything without God’s help, I ask Him for His favor as I try to keep these resolutions, as long as they are OK with Him. I aim to keep these for Jesus’ name alone.

Read over these Resolutions once a week.

1. I resolve to live to make Jesus famous and myself happy, as long as the two are not in contradiction. I resolve to keep my responsibilities, and to do what is good for mankind. I resolve that no difficulties will stop me from these resolutions.

2. I resolve to constantly look for ways to make fulfilling resolution 1 easier and more habitual.

3. I resolve that, whenever I forget to keep these resolutions, I will repent and come back to them.

4. I resolve to do nothing but what makes Jesus famous as long as I can help it.

5. I resolve to never waste time, but to make the most of the life I’ve been given.

6. I resolve to live hard.

7. I resolve to live as if I were dying.

8. I resolve to live as if I were the worst person alive, and will keep myself humbled in comparison to others.

9. I resolve to think about death often.

10. I resolve that when I am hurt, to think about the hurt that comes with dying for the Cause or, worse, hell.
