Invitation to 40 Days of Prayer
Christians throughout church history has designated the 40 days of Lent as a season of reflection and preparation before the celebrations of Easter. My encouragement to you this year is that we don’t just fast from something, but we fill our 40 days with intentional time of prayer…
Let the Word of Christ Dwell in you Richly!
Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.” That’s how we live our Christian life. Christian life is centered around the word of Christ. Following Christ means following the word of Christ. Wordless life is a Christ-less life. But a life full of the word of Christ will be a life full of Christ. So let’s be filled with the word of Christ, so that we may be full of Christ and be able to also then share the love of Christ to others.

Time to Pray, Time to Do Good
This past week, I got to read the book God and the Pandemic: A Christian Reflection on the Coronavirus and Its Aftermath by N.T. Wright. The book helped me to reflect on a couple of things in light of my own sickness and the ongoing challenges beset by the pandemic: 1. It’s time to pray and lament; 2. It’s time to do good and share the good news.

Happy New Year of Bible Reading and Praying Together
We start the year with thanksgiving. That God has given us another day, another year to live. Life is a gift from God and we are grateful that God has gifted us with not just life—but life in Christ. We are grateful that God has saved us and has given us each day as an opportunity to live for his glory and to enjoy him and all the blessings he has given us in Christ.
