My I intention, by God's grace, to post one grouping of Jonathan Edwards' resolutions each Sunday afternoon. I am convinced that I can only handle them in small doses, while Edwards reviewed the whole list each week. The entire list of Edward's resolutions can be found here: the-resolutions-of-jonathan-edwards
To God Alone be the Glory
Preamble:
Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God’s help, I do humbly entreat him, by his grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to his will, for Christ’s sake.
Good Works
11. Resolved, when I think of any theorem in divinity to be solved, immediately to do what I can towards solving it, if circumstances don’t hinder.
13. Resolved, to be endeavoring to find out fit objects of charity and liberality.
69. Resolved, always to do that, which I shall wish I had done when I see others do it. Aug. 11, 1723.
I now send forth this post with a deep sense of its many defects; but with an earnest prayer that it may do some good. (JC Ryle)
