Temptation of Jesus is about JC for you (Lectionary Monday)

The devil doesn’t care about your little, piddly sins. He’ll drag you into them, sure. But that’s not his big concern. The big concern of the devil, the thing that he most wants you NOT to do is believe that Jesus died for your sins. He wants to get you to trust in something other than Jesus. And here, he wants Jesus to be some other god than the One who dies for you.

Meat Your Neighbor on Meat on Friday in Lent (Fun Word Friday)

You are free. If you think it might help with your Christian devotion to cut out meat in Lent, great! Do it. And if you are triggered by the idea of giving up meat for Lent, then you’re free to keep on eating it. What you are not free to do is mock your neighbor or intentionally tempt them with what you know they’re fasting from in their freedom.

Don’t Give God the Bird – Galatians 6:7-8 (Bible Study Thursday)

God is not to be treated like He’s stupid or a bad driver on the interstate. If you sow according to your flesh by the Law and depending on your works, it’ll reap destruction. But when you sow according to the Spirit by faith in the Son of God, it’ll reap — from the Spirit — eternal life. You get what you earn, or you’re given by the Spirit what Jesus earned.

Ash Wednesday (What’s UP? Wednesday)

Lent is not an excuse to be grumpy or gloomy. When you fast, be merry, be happy! Nobody should know you’re in Lent. And your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. If it’s all about your sacrifice and how much you’re giving up for God…then that feeling you get about what you’ve done is your full reward. Be somber on the inside, and joyful on the outside.

Quinquagesima and what Lent is really about (Bad Theology Tuesday) – A Higher Things® Video Short

Lent is not about what you’re giving up. It’s not about your fast (it IS a fast, but that’s not what it’s about). Jesus is going to Jerusalem where He will be mocked, spit upon, flogged, beaten, and ultimately crucified…for you. That’s what Lent is about. Drop everything that can get in the way of you focusing on Him and receiving more of His gifts.

St. Matthias and a Salute to the Unknown Pastor (Lectionary Monday)

We don’t know much about Matthias, he may be the least known of the Apostles! It’s OK that we don’t have a lot of details about his life. We know what he did — He preached the Gospel, he administered the sacraments, he baptized, he taught, he visited the sick. That’s what pastors DO. And the best pastors are the faithful ones nobody ever hears about.

Reprogramming Your Lenten Fast (Fun Word Friday)

People think of fasting as Roman Catholic. But Jesus says, “When you fast…” This Lent, find ways you can get “you” out of the way and focus your attention on Jesus and how to receive more of the Lord’s gifts for you this Lent. “Man does not live by bread alone but on every Word that comes forth from the mouth of God.” Fix your eyes on Christ and Him crucified.

Law & Gospel of Helping Others – Gal 6:2-6 (Bible Study Thursday)

It seems contradictory: Help others carry their burdens / You should carry your own burden. But when you apply law and gospel the passage, it makes sense. We love others best when we help them carry their burdens. But if you think you’re all that and other people should carry your burdens…no way. Carry your own load! Stop worrying about others.

Freedom…in Lent? (Whats UP Wednesday)

Lent isn’t about you. It’s about Jesus. Turn your focus from yourself and the things you do for Jesus. Sure, we should have that focus every day of the year. But we don’t. So we have a season to help us do that. Lenten fasting and disciplines are great. But do them so that you get yourself out of the way, so Lent can be about watching Jesus go to the cross for you.

Believing is Receiving (Lectionary Monday)

The parable of the Sower and the Seed is not about making you worry about what kind of ground you are. Focus on the Sower and the seed He sows (the Word). The devil wants to snatch the Word from you so you can’t believe and be saved. Receive the seed, and be saved. Believing is receiving!
