A Forecast for the Future
December 30, 1989 • Ronald L. Dart
If you were looking for a resolution for the new year (or the new decade), you'd have to go a long way to do better than this:
“Wash you, make yourself clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; cease to do evil; Learn to do good; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow.
“Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land:
“But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it” (Isaiah 1:16–20 KJ2000).
