"Lent is giving up childish ways and embracing the ways of Calvary."
"But we cannot earn what has been earned for us."
So often the truly Reformed dismiss the observation of Lent as a man-made exercise or "Papist" with overtures of seeking to earn something with works. The more often I observe Lent though, there is the stark reminder of just the opposite.
The greater grasp one has of their own sinful childish ways, the more one recognizes the utter futility of trying to please God and earn his favor. Tis really true we cannot earn what has been earned for us.
Is there an article or something I can send to my mother who is looking for “Lent 101” guidelines? We were raised Baptist in the rural south so this is very new to us.
Two quotes stick out for me here.

Is there a place one can buy a church calendar? Any recommendations?

I was given this link by the woman that created the one Pastor Uri replied with. May be easier to get it printed? 🤗 http://cloav.printify.me
