Reflections for Lent
Ash Wednesday is tomorrow, which begins the season of Lent. I have collected my past materials on Lent into a list on Medium. Free links are below.
Ash Wednesday and God Becoming Human
Lent Series: The Baptism of Jesus
Lessons from David’s Fall (Published in Inspire, Believe, Grow)
“It is a story of the many ways power can corrupt even a good man and a good king.”
What Does It Mean to Be Blessed? (Published in Koinonia)
“Blessed doesn’t mean healthy, rich, and successful. It means favored by God.”
Should I Kill My Child if God Commands Me To? (published in Backyard Church)
It’s a shame that Abraham seems best known for almost killing his son Isaac. If you’ve ever read that story and wondered if God would ever ask you to kill your child, you must read this.
Why That Missing Comma Drives Me Crazy (published in Koinonia)
Genesis 1:2 in the NRSV leaves out a comma, and it makes a big difference. For Bible geeks and grammar nerds.
My Yoke Is Easy (published in Inspire, Believe, Grow)
You’ve probably heard Jesus’ saying, “My yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Did you know in the first century, a “yoke” was a metaphor for a rabbi’s way of teaching how to interpret and apply the Torah? Follow the link if you want to explore that a little more.
David’s Sin Against Bathsheba
I didn’t say David’s sin with Bathsheba. To know why, follow the link. This is part three of a series about David’s sins in 2 Samuel 11-12. But we start to see redemption as well. Like the rest of the series, it is published in Inspire, Believe, Grow.
