Every Nation has always placed a high premium on the power, truthfulness, and benefit of Scripture. God reveals himself to us through his Word, by which he transforms and empowers us.

Thus, our 2022 consecration devotional material will focus on metaphors that refer to the Word.

What does it mean to be free? In this Plan, we will explore the meaning of true freedom in Christ. “For the one who was a slave when called to faith in the Lord is the Lord’s freed person; similarly, the one who was free when called is Christ’s slave” (1 Corinthians 7:22, NIV).

Easter is the central holiday for Christians, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ and His victory over sin and death. Unfortunately, in our society, Easter is undervalued. It's not celebrated with the same fervor as Christmas: homes aren't decorated a month in advance, and families don't sing Easter songs together. Take the next week to reflect on the essence of the holiday and find effective ways for Easter evangelism.

Instead, it means we are connected to God's promises and have hope even in suffering.

The Lent Project is an initiative of Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture and the Arts.
