Lent

Today marks the first of the 40-day Lent season. In light of that, I just wanted to encourage us to take this season to remind and prepare ourselves for Easter through fasting, prayer, repentance, and the reading and meditating of God’s Word. Although Lent isn’t a requirement for Christians, it’s a great time to remind ourselves of the gospel and the days leading up to the death and resurrection of Jesus (things we should always be reminding ourselves of anyways). For myself, I’ll be fasting certain things that I know worthlessly eat up God-given, grace-granted time and will try (by God’s grace) to use the time that I would have wasted away on it to pray and read and meditate on the Word.

Here’s a link from theResurgence that talks about Lent and some practical suggestions that we can follow in light of it.

Let’s do this!
