christian new-year men
Of all persons the Christian should be best prepared for whatever the New Year brings. He has dealt with life at its source. In Christ he has disposed of a thousand enemies that other men must face alone and unprepared.

The man who has made God his dwelling place will always have a safe habitation.

christian prayer thinking
Let us think of a Christian believer in whose life the twin wonders of repentance and the new birth have been wrought.
