1 February2015 The Messenger 1 Growing as Disciples of Jesus Christ Through Worship, Learning, Fellowship and Outreach OF TRINITY ANGLICAN CHURCH CHRISTIAN CHARACTER AND LENT Therefore, my dear friends continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life. Phil 2:12,15-16 Following Jesus is meant to transform who we are from the inside out as we become like Him. As NT Wright is fond of putting it, following Jesus gives us a new way to be human. As the above passage from Paul tells us, it is precisely this transformed life that is to offer life to the dark and broken world around us. We are to be living hope for a struggling and dying world. We are to be proof for those who yearn to know that there is indeed a real hope that things can actually be different. And yet we often don t see it. That always leads me to ask why? Many greater minds than mine have been asking the same question. NT Wright, in his book After You Believe, recalls a conversation with a banker in England after the worldwide downturn of As Wright inquired as to what it would take to fix the banking system that contributed so heavily to the debacle, his friend replied, Character The system is only really healthy when the people who are running it are people you can trust to do the right thing, not because there are rules but because that s the sort of people they are. (p. 10) Character, as DL Moody put it, is what you do in the dark. Character doesn t keep the rules in order not to get caught; character does what is right because of who we are. Could it be that what we need today, not just as a society, but as followers of Jesus, is a fresh understanding of, and appreciation for, the importance of building good character? Could it be that this is an integral part of what it means to follow Jesus? It seems that Paul would say so. This is exactly what Paul is getting at in his letter to the Galatians when he writes, So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Live by the Spirit and He will produce the character of Christ in you. It sounds so easy and wonderful. But one look around will show that good character isn t easy to come by. So how do we cultivate Christian character? Well intentioned Christians tend to vacillate between two perspectives: keeping rules and following their hearts. Rule keepers would say that we just keep on keeping the rules and eventually we will want to. Heart followers say just surrender to Jesus and it will all work out, eventually you will want to do the right thing from a changed heart. Ask either side, though, and they will likely agree: their scheme only works to a certain point. So is there something more we can do to produce good character? The answer to that isn t easy. Character doesn t just happen on its own. We must actively cultivate it. We do so through a proper practice of spiritual disciplines designed at rooting our lives in Christ and helping live by the Spirit. We actively involve our bodies in practices that in turn work to transform our minds and hearts. And we do these things for a prolonged time, not just for a little while. This Lenten season we will study Christian Character as a congregation through sermons and Soup Supper Teachings. We will explore what kind of character Jesus is seeking to produce in us. We will explore how we are supposed to cooperate in cultivating this character. Because it is Lent, we will also have an opportunity to engage in some disciplines the Church commends every year. There are three disciplines to highlight here. First, plan on attending special services, like Ash Wednesday and Holy Week Services. Second, plan on attending the Soup Supper Teachings on Wednesday evenings where we will explore character in greater depth and grow in fellowship with one another. Third, consider a Lenten Fast as a way to use your body to renew your heart and mind. Plan on engaging this Teaching Series to learn more about these opportunities and about the need to cultivate the kind of Christian Character that in turn allows us to offer living hope to the world. Yours in Christ, Fr. Karl+
2 FAMILY OBSERVANCE OF LENT The first time I decided to do a Lenten fast, I was a boy of probably seven or eight. With almost unbounded creativity, I decided to give up sugar for Lent. I was most likely successful in my fast for a whole three minutes on that Thursday morning, after Ash Wednesday successful until the Cap n Crunch cereal found its way out of the cupboard and mysteriously into my bowl. After my fall from Lenten observance and after many subsequent falls I marveled at Jesus stamina and fortitude in the wilderness those forty days. I marveled at the hardships of the people of Israel in the wilderness those forty years, surviving on nothing but manna and the providential hand of God. In other words, I felt something of the weight of discipline and temptation. I was given a glimpse into some major themes of the Christian Story. I hope that the kids in our parish can experience something of the significance of the Christian Story this Lent, too. I am not advocating for severe Lenten fasts. In fact, it is possible to observe Lent without giving up anything. We all have heard countless times, I am sure, that we can also take something on for Lent. This is a viable option for Lenten observance. Why not make Lenten observance a family event this year? Families could take on bible study or family prayer together, for instance. Families could give up something together like a favorite treat, television time, etc. Either way, this could be an opportunity for our kids to experience something of the weightiness and significance of the Story. So, give it a try and talk about it. See what conversations come up as you reflect on your Lenten observance together. And, interestingly, even if you all fail at various points in your observance, that too has value. For then the whole family can feel together the weight of discipline and temptation. The whole family can marvel together at the single -minded, always-obedient devotion of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has done perfectly where we fail. Yet his grace is always sufficient in the midst of our failures. I wish you all a blessed Lent. In Christ, Fr. Joe ASH WEDNESDAY Ash Wednesday is February 18th.
