One of the traditions of welcoming in the new year is to make resolutions for the coming year. Resolutions are intentions to make a change in habits or lifestyle, usually for the better, in the new year. Sometimes this can include spiritual commitments. One of the functions of this site is to find resources that may be able to assist Christians in developing spiritual disciplines to grow our faith. One way is to intentionally make time during our day or week to read scripture, pray, and worship. This can be done corporately and individually. It is always best to have some time set aside to do this in community with other Christians, but all of us have some time in which we need to spend our own time in spiritual meditation and prayer. One resource developed especially for students is called d365. It is a cooperative of the Episcopal church, Presbyterian Mission Agency and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship. Devotions are available throughout the year but common liturgical seasons of Advent, Lent, Christmas and Easter are highlighted. Scripture, music, a meditation and time of prayer are designed into the on line devotional experience. The link below will send you from this blog to the d365 site where you can sign up to receive information or emails, or you can choose to do the devotion from the main site. Music is also available from the site. If you are a student or work in student ministries preview and recommend this site to your youth or college group. Use it in your own time as a spiritual discipline and add it to your resolutions this year. Happy 2016, and may this be a year of spiritual growth and vitality as together we continue to seek God's kingdom above all else.
