What are you Giving Up for Lent

Lenten Season is a time of Giving up Giving out and Giving in
Christ promised to never, ever leave us, during Lent, we can draw closer to Him who is always close to us. Our Church calls us to Give up. Some appetite, some distraction, some affection given up creates a type of "Vacuum" that the Holy Spirit rushes to fill.

Our Church calls us to Give out. Nothing demonstrates quite as dramatically our intent to put our trust in God, who never fails, like giving away our treasure to someone that can never repay us. In this act we demonstrate that our faith is in God, and not in money or things.

Our Church calls us to Give in. In a world where every popular "life coach" encourages us to find our purpose, set our goals, do our own "thing" to the utmost, the Lord Jesus Christ coaches us differently , "If you want to find your life, you must lose it." The Lenten season reminds us that we are most fulfilled when we are emptied of "self" and "filled" with the Spirit of God, becoming ever more transformed into the Image of Christ.

I wish, and pray, that this Lenten season will enrich your life, deepen your relationship with Christ, and strengthen your relationship with your world wide family of faith
