My Vision of God’s Holiness-Lent 27, 2020

Prayer Focus: What Holiness Means

We give You glory, Lord, for Your holiness and Your marvelous deeds! We praise You for Your salvation, purchased for mankind by the blood of Your Son Jesus. We worship You for You alone are good and perfect! Your Word tells us to worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness, to tremble before You, all the earth! We should tremble because we are sinners at the mercy of a holy God. Your Word reminds us that we do not fear any but You. Therefore, let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let us say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!” Your reign is undisputed and therefore, everything–the sea, the fields, all of nature–rejoices because You are good. Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His love endures forever. Even the trees of the forest sing with joy before You, because You come to judge the earth. Save us, God our Savior; gather us and deliver us from the nations, that we may give thanks to Your holy name, and glory in Your praise. Praise be to the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. “Amen” (Adapted from 1 Chronicles 16:29-36)

Advent and Lenten devotionals remain among my most popular offerings. You don’t want to miss this encounter with God to prepare your heart for Easter! Understanding that prior years’ devotionals remain popular, you may want to have access to a full series ahead of time:

Lent 2013 looked at The Letter to the Romans: Paul’s Masterpiece to reclaim foundations of our Christian heritage and began February 13, 2013.
A very special and ever popular offering was Lent 2014’s Be Still and Know that I AM God which can be obtained through the archives beginning in March 2014.
Lent 2015 began on February 18, 2015 with a series entitled With Christ in the Upper Room: Final Preparations. We explored what is often called “The Upper Room Discourse” found in John chapters 13-17.
ReKindle, the Lent 2016 series, began on February 10, 2016 and encouraged us to rekindle our spiritual lives.
Light: There’s Nothing Like It was the 2017 Lent series and explored this metaphor often used to portray Christ. It is archived beginning March 1, 2017.
Lent 2018, we explored the questions of Pi and Chi (the Greek letter beginning the word Christos, which means Christ, Messiah, the Anointed One). We asked and answered the questions “Why?” from the movie Life of Pi as we discovered the uniqueness of Jesus Christ in a world of many faiths.
Lent 2019 gave us a deeper window into Easter “More to the Easter Story” since we miss so much when we rely only on a superficial understanding of the work of Christ. These devotionals are archived beginning March 6, 2019.
