Christ Church Rockville Lenten Devotion

Deut. 7:12-16 
Titus 2:1-15 
John 1:35-42 

I am a reprobate. Paul would certainly have written to me, or written to my congregation about me. 

I abuse alcohol. I covet my neighbor’s wife. Titus Ch. 2 (my assignment) talks to me. I strive to adhere to all the strictures Paul recommends for Titus’s flock. I am bade to be “temperate, serious, sensible, sound in faith, in love, and in steadfastness.” A tall order. And one worthy of entertaining during Lent. Temperate: three or fewer glasses of wine per night. Serious: cognizant of the surrounding political furor and aware of how to act around adults. Sensible: “sober” in my choices. “Sound in faith”: following the letter and spirit of the Book, helping others, showing kindness. “Sound in love”: standing by my loved ones. “Sound in steadfastness”: being constant in my devotion. Since practice makes perfect, if I practice these exhortations during Lent, maybe they’ll stick for the rest of the year.
