_Last week in a message I said that a RESOLUTION was a declaration of an intention, but that resolve was a determination of that intention.  Resolutions are easy to make and difficult to complete.  That is why we            must recognize that we can only obtain the prize by leaning upon the Lord.  Hebrews 12:2  Looking                      unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,             despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. We must keep our eyes on Jesus.       Keeping our eyes on Him will cause the things of this world to grow strangely dim.  We will no longer desire the cheap prizes of this world, but we will be steadfast in pursuing the heavenly inheritance that fadeth not away!         ~ Pastor Brandon Lake
