As you consider your New Year's resolutions, don't let your faith be entangled by the thorns of worldly concerns. Those who are weak in the faith tend to get close to GOD only when they are in the presence of other Christians in worship. I'm not claiming whether or not they are Christians, but that they practice their faith in the presence of thorns. Once they leave the church, the world presses in on them and chokes out any spiritual growth.
