Today is the first day of December. It marks the beginning of my annual month-long reflection on the year that has been. It also is the time where I look to the coming year by setting a few goals. I am not one to make New Year's Resolutions, but I don't like to stumble aimlessly into another year either. I thought a little about what I'd like to accomplish spiritually. They are subject to change of course, but these are the items that I hope to focus on in 2010... these will probably show up in some form on this blog from time to time:
1). An intensive book study of Proverbs. Continue on with the Charles Bridges commentary.
2). Memorize the first four chapters of Proverbs.
3). Create a commentary on various themes from Proverbs.
4). Study the religion of Islam so I can better understand the challenges that we face as a nation and as Christians. Having had contact with Muslims in the past leave me with no doubt that I will encounter them again. It would be nice to be able to know where they're coming from, using that as a springboard for sharing the soul-saving truth with them.
5). Study a hero of the faith. Possibly John Calvin or George Whitefield.
