    Making sure our actual fasting is backed up by the things that need to lie behind it

    ...... You have a colleague at work. You are always very friendly towards him. You greet him with a smile. You ask after his family. You ask what he did over the weekend. You make him a cup of tea. But behind his back, you take the credit for all his work so that you end up getting a promotion ...read more

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Mar 5, 2021
     | 3,341 views

    Jesus is doing disruptive even violent actions here, shocking me out of my consumerist mentality. No wonder my Savior hangs on a Cross.

Making a whip shows his anger did not impair his judgement. Writing an angry letter is a good way of bringing our feelings out so that we can see them. ...read more

     | 1,211 views

    Carnival time is often a time of chaos. Jesus created chaos because of the corruption in the Jerusalem temple. The cleansing of the temple is the "judgement" of God against commercial robbery of the poor by the religious establishment. Jesus is the replacement.
