We're commanded to be more Christ-like as we walk our journey of faith. What will you do this year to do that? and to grow closer to God? Here are a few considerations:
1. Make time to read your bible more. This can be daily, or weekly, or even monthly if that's not something in your current routine. Find a friend to get with when you read it, then discuss the meaning as you both see it, and then how to apply what you've learned.
2. Join a group where you can be encouraged or you can learn more about your walk. It can be a bible study group, a Sunday morning class, or even an evening small group in a hosted home.
3. Take some time to look at your character. Where are the holes? What weaknesses can you improve? Do you have one particular character flaw that others bring up more than once? Then maybe you should start there with God's help, not to become what others want you to be, but to become closer to God and become more Christ-like.
4. Try listening to online sermons while sitting at your computer. You can listen to sermons from all around the world, or even from a church near your part of it. If you don't know where to start, there's www.crosswalk.com that has recorded ones to start you off. Find your favorite speakers and go from there.
5. Crosswalk also has great articles on everything from parenting, to marriage, to money, to careers, to movie reviews. Reading on topics relevant to you written by people who may be further on their journey than you're at, can be very helpful to change your thinking for the better.
Whatever method you choose, good luck in 2011. May you find yourself where you want to be Spiritually when January of 2012 rolls around. God Bless, Friend.
