Shedding weight, going to see the dentist or learning a new language are good goals and perhaps are needed for us at this time in our lives. But, are we making personal resolutions that crowd out or ignore clear biblical principles that we should undoubtedly aim for this year? How does our resolution-making measure up in the light of these questions:
