  1. GoodBible resolutions

  2. How to make them GoodBible resolutions • ..or not • Jephthah made a vow to the Lord: “If you give the Ammonites into my hands, whatever comes out of the door of my house to meet me when I return in triumph from the Ammonites will be the Lord’s, and I will sacrifice it as a burnt offering”

  3. How to make them (Ecclesiastes 5) GoodBible resolutions • …by command(of God) • Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God.

  4. How to make them (Ecclesiastes 5) GoodBible resolutions • …in context(of Heaven and earth) • God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. • As a dream comes when there are many cares, so the speech of a fool when there are many words.

  5. How to make them (Ecclesiastes 5) GoodBible resolutions • …with commitment • When you make a vow to God, do not delay in fulfilling it…It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it. Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” …Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore stand in awe of God.
