How to Begin a Good New Year - Ephesians 5:15-16 plus

Jonathan Edwards, 18th century preacher and revivalist, created a list of 70 resolutions by which he sought to live. (but according to his own testimony, it met with limited success). His first resolution is a good foundational principle - not in lists of things to do, but a purpose in life: I will do whatsoever I think to be most to God's glory...whatever difficulties I meet with (my abridgement). It is good to begin the year (each day?) with a mind to live more and more for the glory of God in Christ. We turn to five passages to shape the discussion: Ephesians 5:15-16, Psalm 98, Psalm 90, Jeremiah 29 and John 1. Let's talk about it.
