DHCP is the program which automagically configures your internet connection every time you boot up. So when you configure /etc/resolv.conf then DHCP is overwriting what you entered the next time DHCP runs. You can modify how DHCP configures resolv.conf by modifying /lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-hooks.

You can learn how to modify what DHCP sets up by beginning at this web page:

Take at a look at this about about halfway down under network configuration paramters.
