Vows and CommitmentEach new year that comes makes us all think about what the year ahead will be like. Many people decide to start off the new year with some plans... very often called "new year's resolutions"... usually focused on some form of self improvement. New year's resolutions are a running joke in our culture... because they are most often abandoned sometime within the next few months. Modern culture has a low expectation of commitment [we don’t expect much of our self and we don’t expect much of others]... this affects marriage and families, business and employment, politics, international relations etc.People might have logical or emotional reasons for avoiding commitment... but having a good reason for avoiding commitment does not protect us from the harm that a non-committal approach will inevitably bring... both personally or socially.Commitment and follow through are an essential ingredient of a functional healthy society, and for our purposes in this message commitment is necessary for a person who is growing in grace, knowledge and putting on the mind of the God family.Today I will approach the subject of commitment by looking at what the bible says about vows. Then I'll follow up with a brief section on setting some spiritual goals based on the gifts of the spirit. blog URL for syndicates https://ucgraleigh.blogspot.com/2021/01/pay-your-vows-to-god.htmlKeep Reading »
