In 1 Corinthians 10:31 the Apostle Paul states, "Whether then you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." Every day mundane, routine, matter-of-fact or matter-of-necessity things can and should be done with the prevailing attitude that the glory belongs to God. Jonathan Edwards, not long after his conversion, drew up what are now known as the RESOLUTIONS(1722-1723), in which, at the outset of his ministry, he committed himself to keeping a list of seventy guidelines to help him stay passionate in his pursuit of God and His glory. Though young when he wrote them, they reveal a mature understanding of genuine devotion and the way such devotion should be evident in all of one's life. While blog space does not permit me to list all seventy, they have been published, and if we give attention to the all-inclusive principle in 1 Corinthians 10:31 we would capture Edwards' thrust. Join me and fellow believers in 2009 to do everything we can unto our great God's glory.
On a medical note, today I completed my 18th oncology radiation treatment, and have 12 remaining treatments before I return to Nebraska and our home there.
