My thoughts on Lent

Friday Favorites
Lent starts today (Ash Wednesday).  Lent - in the traditional church is 40 days and nights before Easter, not including Sundays.  It's a time for reflection, sacrifice, and lament over Christ's death.  It doesn't include Sundays, because of the reality that Christ HAS risen, and HAS redeemed us from our punishment of eternal separation from God.Being raised Catholic - it was tradition to "give up" something for lent.  It was something done out of a sense of legalism - you do this, because this is what you do for lent....When i left the Catholic church - i abandoned "giving something…

Monday Morning Recap for Sunday Morning – February 15, 2015

We wrapped up our 2015 Global Missions Conference yesterday, and LENT begins this Wednesday.  Lent is one of my favorite seasons in the church calendar.  I love the lament and confession aspect of Lent.  I love the progression that we can go through as a believer as we come repentantly, with knowledge and expectation that the finished work of Christ has, is and will continue to sanctify us.  But a season of lament is good.  It can be a season of refocusing.  What will your focus be?We opened yesterday with Let Creation Sing.After our call to worship we sang Because of…

Yesterday's worship set was all about remembering the relentless pursuit of God's love for us.  How easy is it for you to think that you're on your own and forgotten about.  How many have strayed and think that they've gone too far to ever come back.  It's comforting, healing and restorative to be reminded that the God of the universe not only knows us and formed us, but transformed us and pursues us as the shepherd that leaves the 99 for the one that's lost.We opened yesterday with Let Us Return - a song I wrote based on Hosea.After our call…
