Lent Is Almost Here
Posted on Sun, Jan 30, 2005
Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent, comes on February 9, 2005. We, as Christians, observe Lent for 40 days (excluding Sundays) to examine our spiritual condition and to strive to improve our relationship with God.
Lent is also a period of spiritual preparation for Easter Sunday, the greatest day on the Christian calendar.
During Lent, most churches have additional services. Some offer special Bible study events ir classes in strengthening the spiritual life. It is a good time to study the life a great Christian from the past and the ways that person developed closeness to God.
It's important that each Christian practice spiritual disciplines to "show that you are a letter of Christ...written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts" (2 Corinthians 3:3, NRSV).
