To Die is To Gain | Ash Wednesday

"We too easily forget our Maker and Redeemer; replacing God with things and ambition. Lent is the season that does something about this situation. It call us back to God, back to the basics, back to the spiritual realities of life. It calls us to put to death the sin and indifference we have in our hearts toward God and our fellow persons. And it beckons us to enter once again into the joy of the Lord--the joy of a new life born out of a death to the old new life. That is what Ash Wednesday is all about--the fundamental change of life required of those who would die with Jesus and be raised to a new life in him."
