As usual, although our new video has already been getting some positive reviews and feedback and thanks, we do get criticized for being too this or that. There’s a comment on the blog post you can read for yourself.

In is no surprise that when we stopped praying the Lenten collects, we soon lost the ability to think and speak about fasting in a biblical way. The old maxim has proven true, once again: Lex orandi, lex credendi.

Today is the last day of feasting before the Lenten fast. It is known as Shrove Tuesday or Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras in French). Some Christians are not comfortable with feasting, and are eager to get on with the rigors of Lent. But Jesus calls us to both repent and to fast, but also calls us to rejoice and to feast.
