Resolution 24

   Based on Jonathan Edward's resolutions I have written 25 of my own (Edwards had too many and they were written in old English). I have spent a few years meditating on them and they have been a great help. Maybe they will edify and inspire you. Here is number 24:

I am resolved ...

To not quench the spirit nor despise prophetic utterances but to rather examine everything carefully holding fast to that which is good while abstaining from every form of evil. To seek providence rather than prophecy for the scripture is closed.
