True, Good, and Beautiful: Devotions for Lent
Lent has always been a season of repentance. We have often been encouraged to “give something up for Lent.” The thought is to remove something from our lives and devote the time or energy to prayer and fasting. While this has significant value for many people, the true meaning of “repentance” is a changing of one’s mind; that is, it is an encouragement to think differently about something from what we previously believed or acted upon. This study will ask us how we might think differently and redemptively about the concepts above--what is really true, what is truly good, and what does it mean to say something is beautiful? Those questions underlie the daily thoughts on the chosen texts, which have been selected from the common lectionary.
