Resolution and the Necessity of Living up to Fixed Standards
A Plymouth Church sermon urges that true Christian life requires concrete resolutions not mere wishes. The preacher defines resolution as a purpose plus necessary means, notes the difference between wishing and willing, and calls listeners to begin immediately by repenting, adopting Bible guidance, and living consistently with Christian principles. He warns against procrastination and urges practical steps, including daily scripture, confession, and steadfast effort.
