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.

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.

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.

Pre-Lent & Shrovetide (Fun Word Friday)

What’s “Pre-Lent” or “Shrovetide”? It’s a short season of preparation to get Christians ready for Lent. We know that a season of fasting and discipline is coming up, so start preparing for it now! Don’t sin it up and celebrate until the final binge with Mardi Gras. Jesus is making His way to the Cross for you. Start contemplating that now.
