11 Resolutions for 2024, Culture War Edition | Doug Wilson
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9AzLnID0qY
It is a custom among our people to make resolutions for the new year, and as this is the morning of January 1, 2024, a brand spanking new year, and one that promises to be every bit as gnarly as the last several, I thought I should offer a set of suggested resolutions for all conservative Christians. I am speaking of those who are engaged in what have come to be known as the culture wars.

That engagement might be at some distance, where you are simply praying for your nation and working hard to maintain the perimeter of your sanity bubble—for your family or local congregation. This is an effort not to be sneered at. It is one of the most important things that can be done. It must be done, and it must be done by millions. Or perhaps you might be in the thick of the fray, where the bad guys know all about you, and are trying to take you out. You might, for example, be an evangelical lobbyist in Washington, where your job is to nod while Republicans lie to you.

So what should you resolve to do? How shall we then behave? Except for the last resolution below, these come in no particular order.
