Forward a Week Ago

2 Corinthians 8:10
(10) And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago.

I began this year, 2008, by reminding us all to be forward a year ago as it says in 2 Corinthians 8:10. Then, I was reading some of Jonathan Edwards' resolutions, and number 30 says:

"To strive, every week, to be brought higher in Religion, and to a higher exercise of grace, then I was the week before."

Now, I have to admit that Paul's admonition is more important to follow than Jonathan Edwards', but wow, what if we were, every week, to examine ourselves to see if we have improved and risen in our faith.

Just a thought...
