Lent 2006: Spiritual Disciplines
“I can do all things through him who strengthens me.” -Philippians 4:13
Ash Wednesday begins in about an hour, and this Lenten season will be quite extensive and intensive. maybe i’m being too legalistic, fundamentalistic, conservative, or what not… but the goal is simply, to embrace the Grace and Mercy of my LORD and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Also, to start of the season, I am fasting from food on Ash Wednesday, so please pray for me.
- no tv show/movie watching (except for the Passion of the Christ)
- no reading of others blogs, except for those of Pastors/on Christian theology
- no shopping, except for bare necessities
- no mindless, useless surfing
- no sappy music, only Christian/worship music
- no coffee
- in bed/sleep by 2am
- starting and ending each day with prayer on my knees
- morning devotions/reading of Word
- read Christian books! a lot of them!
- study diligently–i mean really!
“Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
-Matthew 4:4, ESV
Please help keep me accountable by checking out on me LOL!
I only wish our CCF did something for it this year…and part of me wishes to forgoe fellowship tomorrow night for an Ash Wednesday worship service. anybody know of a good church to attend for this?
