Lent, spiritual discipline and a closer walk with the Lord!


Spiritual discipline makes a difference during Lent:

• Learn the value of daily repentance and turning to Christ in prayer for forgiveness and sanctification.
• Deepening ones prayer life by adding more time to our quiet times for the sake of listening to God.
• Deepening our walk with the Lord through additional reading of the Word, for example adding a Psalm to our readings every day, and choosing a Gospel to read the history of the passion of Christ, passage by passage.
• Being diligent in worshipping with God’s people on Sundays and celebrating his Supper with his people.
• Giving sacrificially after prayerful contemplation of what God expects us to give and to which cause.
• Forgiving those who sinned against us, as God has forgiven us. Seeking peace with all the significant people in my life, including my fellow church members!
