Our January Prayer theme at the church is for Financial Success in 2010. Why? Because I want God to do amazing things through Liberty and it takes resources to accomplish that.
Why don’t church’s have more money? Because the average church member gives less than 3% to the Lord’s work. Too many Christians waste too much money…..
Randy Alcorn speaks to that issue in the video below. Watch it and ask God what He can do through you in 2010.
Everyone has a picture in their minds of who they want to become. You think about it – dream about it – and even plan for it.
As a matter of fact, this time of year many people make resolutions that revolve around molding them into the person they want to BECOME. Sadly, most people drop their resolutions within weeks.
According to A Marist University Poll,
Keeping Their Word?
33% of Americans recall making a New Year’s resolution last year, but how successful were they? Of those residents, 65% said they kept their promise for at least part of the year while 35% did not. Men were more steadfast than were women. 70% of men kept their resolution for at least part of 2009. This compares with 59% of women.
Dedication has grown among Americans who have previously made a resolution. While 65% of residents kept their resolution for 2009, 60% did so in 2008.
Why do we fail in our New Years Resolutions? Because we don’t know how to change. The Bible gives us clear instructions on how to BECOME the person we would like to be.
Starting this Sunday, I will share with you how you can BECOME all God intended for you to be. I will examine change in general, and then over the next few weeks we will look at some of the New Years Resolutions everyone makes and what the Bible says about them.
If you want to improve your family, finances, organizational skills, and many other things – don’t miss a service.
