I've never formally observed lent for no other reason than that I never went to a church that led its congregants through the season. This year, however, I have run across a beautiful lenten devotional posted online from Biola University's Center for Christianity Culture and the Arts. There is such a treasure trove of text, art and reflection that I thought I'd post some of my favorites here. May we, as followers of Christ, find more substance to being salt and light in the world. http://ccca.biola.edu/lent/# The Temptation (overall and closeup) J.

AuthorI'm a Christ-follower, passionate about moving in truth/love and intellectual rigor through all things faith + art. A professional Dance Artist and fancying myself an amateur Christian Apologist, I’m committed to moving in the liminal space between catastrophic reverence of God and a quaking humility that intentionally keeps the tremors of Grace close at hand.
