Resolve for Monday

Every Monday I'm going to post one of Jonathan Edwards resolutions. He
penned these while still a very young man and used them to guide
his life. What am I using to guide me, my family, my ministry??

66. Resolved, that I will endeavor always to keep a benign aspect, and air of acting and speaking in all places, and in all companies, except it should so happen that duty requires otherwise.

  • Benign : to be gently or kind.
  • This has to do with relationships.  What kind of person do people see you as? Aggressive, truthful, kind?
  • Edwards resolved to act kindly (much different then the Hell fire preacher history depicts him as) "in all places." How do you act?
