Beginning Lent - What, Why and How. He must increase, I must decrease.Lent is a season where we pull back from our sins and those things other than God which we turn to, so that we can more fully see and savor our Father, His Son and His Spirit. It is a time for fasting, for prayer and for charity. Each of them playing a role in our ability to believe the gospel and live it out more fully. We bring our neediness to him and ask him to fill it. We pull back from the lesser goods so that we can more fully enjoy them as the blessings of the Ultimate Good, our Lord. If you have any questions about fasting, praying or charity or the season in general please don't hesitate to reach out. I am looking forward to seeing you all this evening at our Ash Wednesday service.

This, is a big one! The greatness of God and the loving attentiveness and touch of Jesus… …from power exhibited to the intimacy of His presence… There are things we are to know, that others get to know, because we are not ready to know, or ought not know… but too often we think we should (be able) to know - and Jesus says — “no.”Will I learn the hear the word “no”, and trust that this is God’s protection of my heart, mind, and soul - even if someone else knows and we think we should know, and so we can become jealous, yet God says “no… this is not for you…” but we think we should know, too! Luke 9:43; Mark 9:9-13, 30-37 (Mark 1)

1 Peter 1:3-12 Where is our hope as the Christian? Is it in the things of this world or is it held for us in heaven? We are called to persevere through the temporary sufferings of this world so that, we may be with our Father in the new heaven and the new earth. What a glorious truth that is.
