Did You Make a New Year’s Resolution?
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! — 2 Corinthians 5:17
At the beginning of a new year, many individuals spend time creating New Year’s resolutions. Did you make one (or a few)? How are you doing? Resolutions are goals that we hope to have accomplished by this time next year. Your list may have brand new resolutions or the same resolutions from preceding years. Resolutions vary and a typical list may be like the one below:

Like his father King David, Solomon was a good king. Unfortunately, Solomon didn’t remain as faithful to God as his father. Even though he was the wisest man in the world, Solomon inherited a flaw from his dad, a deep love for beautiful women. Solomon went above and beyond by marrying 700 foreign women and keeping 300 concubines in his lavish palace.
