Jonathan Edwards was one of the most famous, and some would say, one of the most faithful and influential Minsters of the Gospel in American history. He was born in 1703 and died in 1758. Edwards was used mightily in The Great Awakening - an amazing spiritual revival in the US that took place in the 18th Century.
When Edwards was 18 or 19 years old, he wrote 70 resolutions that he hoped would keep him faithful and true to all of Scripture. I discovered them many years ago and thought they were wonderful, but somehow still seemed to lose track of them in the busyness of life. I recently came across them once again, and have made my own "resolution" to read one of these each day beginning on January 1st. Lord willing, and with His help, perhaps this is one resolution I will actually keep!
Would anyone like to join me in reading one per day? The daily time commitment is 1 minute for reading and hopefully all day to contemplate their application to our individual lives. 😊
I have provided two links to choose from. Each has its own benefits. The first divides Jonathan Edwards' 70 Resolutions into topics and the second just lists them in the numerical way in which Edwards wrote them.
