Ten Questions to Ask at the Start of a New Year

This is maybe a little early to post this but we reckon it's worthwhile as a piece to ponder in the coming week in prpeparation for 2008. Don Whitney offers ten questions for the start of the New Year. Tomorrow we'll post a further 21 questions which he invites us to think through (that's ten before the start of the year and then a total of one a day for the whole of January!)

1. What's one thing you could do this year to increase your enjoyment of God?
2. What's the most humanly impossible thing you will ask God to do this year?
3. What's the single most important thing you could do to improve the quality of your family life this year?
4. In which spiritual discipline do you most want to make progress this year, and what will you do about it?
5. What is the single biggest time-waster in your life, and what will you do about it this year?
6. What is the most helpful new way you could strengthen your church?
7. For whose salvation will you pray most fervently this year?
8. What's the most important way you will, by God's grace, try to make this year different from last year?
9. What one thing could you do to improve your prayer life this year?
10. What single thing that you plan to do this year will matter most in ten years? In eternity?
