Life is a constant set of questions that need to be addressed. Lent is about the seriousness of how we answer those questions! As Moses and the Israelites approached the promised land, God addresses them with this exhortation to choose life.

"See, I have set before you today life and prosperity, death and adversity. If you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I am commanding you today, by loving the Lord your God, walking in his ways, and observing his commandments, decrees, and ordinances, then you shall live and become numerous, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land that you are entering to possess. But if your heart turns away and you do not hear, but are led astray to bow down to other gods and serve them, I declare to you today that you shall perish." - Deuteronomy 30:15-18

We will soon be setting aside a day to remember the sacrifice that Christ made on our behalf. How does that affect the choices you make? We will also be setting aside a day to celebrate his victory over death. How does that affect your choices?

We are moving towards the Fourth Sunday of this Lenten season. Good Friday is on April 2 this year and Easter Sunday is on April 4.
