1. Resolve not to miss a single service of the church. No excuses this time but, for a change, made a few sacrifices for the Lord.
2. Try praying every time you have a problem or decision to make. If you feel the slightest need, pray! And while you’re at it, try praying for your enemies (those with whom you don’t get along too well).
3. Make it your responsibility to bring at least one visitor to services, preferably a family. Don’t just invite them, make a date with them.
4. Take at least one afternoon or evening to go visiting. Not with the ones you know or like best. This time, visit someone you do not know too well, perhaps someone with whom you feel a ‘little “strained.” Get to know them and see the difference it makes.
5. Read and study your Bible every day, even if you have to tum off the TV. Follow these simple rules, and you might be surprised at the results.
