Yesterday, I challenged you to resolve to put God's truth into action in 2010. I gave you five action steps based on the truths Nancy and Dannah write about in Lies Young Women Believe. Here are eight more ways you can live out God's truth in 2010.

Twenty-one resolutions for 2010
There's a difference between knowing God's truth and fully embracing it. I can't imagine the ways your lives would change if you chose to believe all God says about you and your life in His Word and allowed that truth to change the way you live.

Is God a good King?
You may realize that God is capable of changing your circumstances, but when He doesn't, do you ever secretly doubt that He's a good King?

He Can Handle It
I don't know about you, but sometimes—especially when life gets tough—it is hard for me to remember what a capable King we serve.

A Different Kind of Kingdom
Tomorrow we will worship our baby King. We will celebrate the fact that He was born of a virgin and born in a manger. We will reflect on the fact that His birth was announced by a host of angels and a bright shining star that only add to the mystery of wonder of His humble arrival. When we think about Jesus' birth, one thing is clear—we don't serve an ordinary King.

What happens when a King walks among us?
God had a plan all along to save the citizens of His kingdom, but when it came time to put that plan into action, He didn't just send a messenger. He didn't announce a royal edict. He became the message.

My New Fashion Obsession
I still want to look beautiful, don't get me wrong. And I still try to wear stylish clothes. But my motivation—my obsession—has dramatically changed.

Summer camp or fashion show?
Even as I sang about how great and beautiful my God was, I was filled with insecurity and jealousy. This midwestern girl was doing everything she could to compete with the California beauties for the attention of her Christian brothers.

Our Approachable King
We serve a King who is simultaneously powerful and accessible.

Christ Our Coming King
The story of Jesus Christ is an incomplete picture if we stop at the manger. We must move beyond His first visit to earth to His second coming.

Be a Shepherd
It is so difficult to keep Jesus as the focus of our lives. Even in December, when all signs should point back to our King, we get wrapped up in a million other things and forget to make Jesus the center of our celebrating.

Is your throne getting cluttered?
Jesus is certainly worthy of our worship, but so often we put other things on the throne of our hearts.

Bored With Christ
Do your eyelids have a tendency to grow heavy during church or maybe your prayers have been drying up if they last longer than a few minutes? As I remember falling asleep in His presence, I'm forced to ask myself: What's going on here? How do we become so bored with Christ?

Eating Mud and the Holiness of God
After reading through a passage in the book of Numbers, it hit me that if God is that holy, how can we expect to talk, pray, and worship Him with sin still hidden in our hearts?

Celebrating Christ Our King
Christ is a King, and He is worthy of great celebration! And I think it is in the celebration that the rest of the world is able to see Him in us.

Who's really on the throne?
So often, we live in a way that screams "it's all about me." The reality is, we're not the ones on the throne.

What kind of King do we serve?
I'm learning that ignoring God's role as King means missing a huge part of who He is. More importantly, when I forget that God is the One who sits on the throne, my focus tends to become all about me when it should be all about Him.
