Ash Wednesday (23)
  1. We can’t remove our crosses or the reality of our deaths. Only Jesus can.
  2. People everywhere, every day, feel God’s wrath—and not as merely an afterlife threat but as a present reality.
  3. This is the aim of a day of repentance: To come face to face with God and, therefore, face to face with our sin.
  4. The cross traced in ashes isn’t a badge of honor or a mark of our works. It’s a reminder of Christ’s work.
  5. Today on the Christian History Almanac, we pause to remember the beginning of the “Lenten” season (and this year, with the East and the West together!)
  6. A life of repentance embraces the ashes placed on our own foreheads and the coals we feel heaped upon our heads, for these ashes and coals bid us to join in the refreshment and restoration that comes on the road of repentance.
  7. What if the dissonance in this calendrical coincidence can be harmonized into a deeper melody?
  8. As disciples of Jesus, our righteousness cannot be performed before others, because our righteousness was already performed by Jesus.
  9. Ash Wednesday's purpose is not to motivate our resolve to redouble our efforts to do better.
  10. Today on the show, we look a bit into the practice of Lent and tell a story about a popular Japanese dish.
  11. Repent and believe the Good News! Everything is OK.
  12. Ash Wednesday, is meant to remind us we have a death problem. All living things made from the soil shall return to it.
