Shrove Tuesday not Mardi Gras (French = Fat Tuesday)
The World sees this as a day to revel in sinful and l***y behavior before the season of repentance begins. God's Word says:
1What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. Romans 6:1–4 (ESV)
Rather than intentionally indulge in sinful behavior, why not take some time today to quietly meditate on the penitential psalms and prepare your heart for a season of repentance -- Psalms 6, 32, 38, 51, 103, 130, and 143.

Knowing why helps us provide a defense of the Christian faith and God's desire that His people gather for fellowship around His Word.

As society evolves, so does our approach to spirituality. This post looks at the subtle yet profound shift from traditional religious adherence to a more personal, evidence-based belief system.
