You can send a card,
say a prayer
or make a phone call
to let our members know we care.
That there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.

New Year Prayer
Thank you, Lord, for giving me
The brand new year ahead.
Help me live the way I should
As each new day I tread.
Give me gentle wisdom
That I might help a friend.
Give me strength and courage
So a shoulder I might lend.
The year ahead is empty
Help me fill it with good things;
Each new day filled with joy,
And the happiness it brings

Everybody makes mistakes.
But only a few wise people learn from them.

PSALM 139:9-10
If I take the wings of the morning,
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
Even there Your hand shall lead me,
And Your right hand shall hold me.
A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.
~ Proverbs 16:9

Attitude
How can one develop a proper attitude toward God? First, our attitude toward God must be based on our conviction that “He is,” and that “He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Hebrews 11:6). This kind of faith will produce a good attitude of godly fear, and “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7). Second, God is absolutely holy, absolutely perfect, and absolutely wise. He is grieved by evil. He loves man and wants us to love and obey Him. All of this should motivate us to want to be true to Him all the days of our life. Our attitude toward God will then be such as expressed by the heavenly hosts: “Worthy are thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created,” (Revelation 4:11).
The churches of Christ greet you.
Romans 16:16
New Year’s Resolutions
Aaron Veyon
“I have chosen to be faithful; I have determined to live by your laws” (Psalm 119:30).
The term “resolution” (as we often think of it) basically means “firm determination to take a course of action.” With each new year people all around the nation make their new year’s resolutions. With some it is to quit smoking; with others it’s to go on a diet or to get more exercise (etc.). Though intentions are usually very good, for many it seems that their determination loses steam in just a short while.
The same kind of frustration can be seen in our spiritual lives. It’s not good enough to just talk the talk, we must also walk the walk. There is little good in making noble plans if we will not put those plans into action and see them through.
God (our most perfect example) says of Himself, “. . . Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it” (Isaiah 46:11). Let me encourage you to follow God’s example. And let us not only resolve to do the Lord’s will, let us actually do it.
