1. INTRODUCTION :

March and April are months when we

celebrate the Lenten Season. Here, we

are called to humility and repentance

that is ― more that ashes and sack-

cloth.‖ Our teaching, serving, and living

as Christians do not last only for a day

of penitence. It is a life long fulfilment of

the love practiced.

As we celebrate the life of Jesus, may

we sympathize with the Lord’s passion

and compassion towards those ― like a

sheep without a shepherd.‖ As Chris-

tians, let us love one another with a love

that surpasses understanding and en-

compasses the whole creation.

11 THE LENTEN SEASON : ORIGIN AND

MEANING TODAY The Lenten Season begins on Ash

Wednesday and ends on Easter Eve.

When the Council of Nicea, AD. 325 first

referred to Lent, it was simply ― Forty

Days. ― And it was a period of intensive

final preparation for those catechumens

or who had been set apart to be bap-

tized at the Easter Vigil or at dawn of

Easter Day. Later, it became tradition-

ally the season of self examination,

penitence, and renewal as Christians

have sought to share in the Lenten

journey of the Lord. In about AD. 348,

Bishop Cyril of Jerusalem, to whom we

owe this Lenten Season ( Latin origin:: ―

Lencten ―- to lengthen; when the days

grow longer)- once told those to be bap-

tized, the catechumens, ―You have a

long period of grace, forty days of repen-

tance.‖

By the time of St. Augustine, the period

had become a time of preparation for

all Christians, baptized or not, in that

time of the year nearing the Lord’s

passion. It is a season dedicated to

penitence, to the mourning of sins as

the church recollects the Lord’s forty

days in the wilderness.

111. THE LENTEN SEASON OF THE UCCP:

The Lenten Season of the United

Church of Christ in the Philippines, as

well as for the whole Philippine na-

tion, ought to be a time of MOURNING

for all. We have denounced the heart-

lessness of our government represen-

tatives who dealt those brutal blows

on a people voicing out their senti-

ments on the continued baseless in-

crease in oil price, basic commodities,

and the deafened ears on the peo-

ple’s cry for a wage increase. We de-

nounced graft and corruption, and the

evil of immorality that happens in the

life of the country today.

But, we cannot just go on looking at

the other’s specks in the eye and fail

to see the logs in ours. We. Too, must

repent of our heartlessness in our

varied businesses and our corrup-

tions for we have not been much too

honest in the carrying out of the

same. We, too must cry against our

own unwarranted decrees against our

own members, our brothers and sis-

ters in the Christian Community, our

subordinates in offices, in the class-

rooms, our unjust and often inhuman

treatment of each other at home, in

the open roads, in the public trans-

portation- belching smoke upon

smoke against the riding public and

“ LENTEN SEASON: A JOURNEY FROM DEATH TO LIFE “

( By: Rev. Benjie D. Gevera Administrative Minister of UCCP-Sabang Church of Christ Disciples )

the walking people. We have not been wanting in our display of arrogance and inhu-

manity when we drive around in our cars alone, or leaving unused our electric lights and

electric fans on, throwing garbage/trash where we will, unmindful of the endless toils of

Metro Aides and the pollution we add to that of the business people.

The Lord’s forty days in the desert or Israel’s forty years in the wilderness are ours, too.

We, too, are lost and tempted in many ways. The difference between Jesus and us is

that, we so easily fall into temptation and don’t often know in fact, that we have. And so

we live broken lives. Whether we be in government, in church, or in private business, or

whether we are with non-government agencies or simply on our own: we succumb, we

join the jeering crowd, we cast the first stone, we fall. Hence, we this period of repen-

tance.

1V. CONCLUSION :

Lenten Season is a journey from death to life. In it we enter into the depths of the agony

and sufferings of Jesus Christ. And so this journey from death to life becomes our jour-

ney to wholeness and holiness.

This is the essence of our faith which is our hope that always there will be change and

the change will manifest the glory of God in us, until the

Kingdom comes.

So we invite you to faithfully enter into this journey. And

let it be truly a journey from all the deaths that plague

our lives daily into a life eternal, which is the very quality

of the life of God.

Let us be on our way, then. And let us be together in

Hope and in Spirit!

to SDCC Having developed

into a full grown

ministry that

lasted for 5

years, the Sabang Disciples Consumers’ Cooperative fi-

nally held its final meeting last February 22, 2014 at the

Quirino-Villanueva Multipurpose Hall with 24 members in

attendance with an agenda of its termination. With 13

votes in favor of its dissolution, it was amended to be

closed. The ministry started last 2009 with the main goal

of helping and reaching out to church members through

financial assistance as capital & especially during emer-

gency situations. Business ventures of the SDCC in-

cluded the Photocopying Machine, the School Canteen,

Groceries & School supplies & Lending Services, these

SDCC in gathering re-

sources in order to ac-

commodate members

who were in need. The

Cassava is notorious for its flatulence-inducing property. It also suf-fers from a lowly reputation as a poor man’s food. Remember the common saying: “Go home and plant kamote?” But did you know that aside from being rich in carbohydrates, cassava may even help lower cholesterol level and may prevent or treat other diseases? Yes, cas-sava or more commonly known as kamoteng kahoy or balinghoy in the Philippines has other health and nutritional benefits aside from being a starchy food. The cassava, yuca, manioc, or tapioca (Manihot esculenta) is a woody shrub of the Euphorbiaceae (spurge family). It is native to South America where it is extensively cultivated as an annual crop in tropical and subtropical regions for its edible starchy tuberous root and a major source of carbohydrates. Now grown throughout the tropics, including the Philippines, cassava is

one of the most important starchy rootcrops, serving as energy source because of its high carbohydrate content. Cassava roots are very rich in starch. Per 100-gram (g) sample, cassava contributes 145 kilocalories (kcal), 35.3 gramscarbohydrate, 1.8 grams dietary fiber, 30 milligrams calcium, 1.1 milligrams iron and 50 milligrams vitamin C. The cassava tuber contains some soluble carbohydrates, like glucose, which can be turned into inverted sugar, thus, conveying a pleasant sweet taste. Inverted sugar is a mixture of glucose and fructose which is ob-tained by splitting sucrose. It is sweeter and its products tend to remain more moist and are less prone to crystal-lization. However, cassava is not a good source of high biological value protein. In some parts of Africa and South America, cassava has several uses. The bitter variety of cassava root is used to treat diarrhea and ma-laria. Cassava leaves are used to treat hypertension, headache and pain. Cubans commonly use cassava to treat irritable bowel syndrome. Although, caution should be practiced in processing cassava. Raw cassava con-tains cyanogenic glycoside that when reacted with an enzyme produces hydrocyanic acid (HCN) a toxic sub-stance. This can be eliminated by soaking the cassava in water, rinsing, boiling, baking, peeling or grating. A study by the Food and Nutrition Research Institute of the Department of Science and Technology (FNRI-DOST) showed that cassava caused a significant decrease in the total cholesterol levels and low density lipoprotein cho-lesterol (LDL-c) levels of volunteer subjects. The study attributed the cholesterol-lowering effect of cassava and other rootcrops to their dietary fiber content. Dietary fiber comes from the family of carbohydrate plant sources that are not digested by intestinal enzymes and are metabolized in the colon. Low dietary fiber intake has been associated with risk to chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and some forms of cancer. In the Philippines, cassava is consumed mainly as a snack or dessert item. It can be eaten plainly as boiled cas-sava or made into popular recipes such as cassava and lubi-lubi, among others. Cassava may be cooked directly from its raw form or can be processed and made into cassava flour or cassava starch Today, with the increased evidence on its nutritional and health benefits and in response to increasing prices of commodities, cassava flour is one of the products recommended to partially substitute wheat in baked and noo-dle products. Partial substitution can buffer the price of other raw materials, especially wheat flour, and at the same time adding nutritional value to the products. Use of cassava flour in the formulation of different food prod-ucts will provide consumers with a variety of healthy food choices and will also benefit the cassava industry, par-ticularly the farmers.

Is this scripturally sound?

Is this thought going to build me up or tear me

down?

Can I share this thought with someone else?

Does this thought make me feel guilty?

Does this fit who I am as a follower of Jesus?

B. Reject ungodly thoughts. If you ask yourself the questions

above and realize the thought isn't godly, choose not to think

about it again. Dwell on things that are good and practice

living out those thoughts (Phil. 4:4-9).

C. Cultivate godly thoughts.

VI. Closing: Who you will be in the future is a result of what

you think in the present. If you don't like where you're

headed, begin to think godly, positive thoughts, and God will

change your destiny.

I. Introduction: Do you have problems controlling your

thoughts? Perhaps you struggle with negative, ungodly

thoughts. What you think determines where you end up in

life, so it's vital that you learn to master your mind.

II. Scripture: Colossians 3:1-3

III. The Bible is full of truth about the importance of

controlling our minds.

1. Unbelievers set their minds on what comes

naturally to humans—pursuing sensual, selfish or

materialistic things (Rom. 8:5-7).

2. God gives disobedient people over to their

depraved minds (Rom. 1:28).

3. We have to be careful that our minds aren't led

away from pure devotion to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2-3).

4. Controlling our thoughts is a vital part of spiritual

warfare (2 Cor. 10:4-5).

IV. How can our transformation into new creatures affect

our thought lives?

1. The Holy Spirit enables us to walk out the Christian

life. We died to our old life, and were raised to walk

in newness of life. Example: a caterpillar turning

into a butterfly.

2. We can learn to view ourselves primarily as

children of God: born-again and citizens of heaven.

3. To have the mind of Christ means that we agree

with Him about what's good and evil in this world.

We share His values and begin to think like Him (2

Cor. 2:16).

4. We have to guard our minds from the influence of

the world. Example: watching soap operas.

5. We must prepare by being alert to erroneous

thinking (1 Peter 1:13). "Sow a thought, reap an

action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit,

reap a destiny."

6. Seek first the rule of God in your life, and He will

provide for your needs (Matt. 6:33).

V. If you want to be happy, even in difficult times, you must

think rightly. How do you do that?

A. Screen your thoughts. Let the Word of God be the grid of

your mind. Reject the thoughts that aren't compatible with

the Bible. Ask yourself these questions:

What's the source?

Where will it lead me?

I have often wondered why it

is so hard to accept change.

Is it simply because we know

that we would deviate from

our daily routine? Is it be-

cause things would not be

like before? Or is it just us,

our pride that says I can

never accept change, that

there is something wrong

with me, the way I do or the

way I live? Is it fear that

blocks our view of transfor-

mation? We have all been

there, fearing the worst that

could happen once we open

the doors for change.

But the scripture assures us

of why we should change. A

passage from the book of

Romans chapter 10 tells us of

a directive on living. Do not

b conformed to this present

word, but be transformed by

the renewing of your mind,

so that you may test and ap-

prove what is the will of God

– what is good, and well-

pleasing and perfect. At the

start of the statement, we can

see that this is not just some-

thing that we could recon-

sider in the future. It was

written with an authority, a

command that must be fol-

lowed. To conform means

not to pattern or be conven-

tional, to not conform means

to deviate, to be a change and

to be set apart. To be set

apart from where? From

whom? The answer lies on

the following words: to this present world. What

is it with this present world? Is something wrong

with the present world? Yes. The world described in this passage is the one where all the desires

of the flesh is accepted and fulfilled. It is a world full of lies and deceit, to which we should not

follow; but it does not stop there, another command is given to us. This command following the

first is a supplemental instruction to which depends how we would be living in this present

world. The second command affirms our ‘holiness’, a mark which will prove that we are set

apart by God. Be transformed. How then can we be transformed? It is only through the renew-

ing of our minds. The mind is the seat of our thoughts. It affects our thinking and behavior, so it

is not surprising that it chose the mind rather than the heart for renewal. How do we renew our

mind? The Bible tells us of so many ways we can do this, in fact the Bible is our source of truth,

the one to affirm whether we do good or we do bad. So it is really important for a Christian to

ALWAYS read and meditate on the word. We must always be thirsty and yearning for God’s

word for it is our strong foundation. Instead of filling our mind with selfish thoughts and own

understanding, why don’t we fill it with the scriptures? Nonetheless, memory verses are not just

for little kids. From the scripture written above, the instruction comes with a disclaimer. So that

you may test and approve what is the will of God- This line is a reminder that there would be a

lot of challenges, temptations and trials. Let us avoid temptations as much as possible, ran as far

as we could from it. The lessons imparted by the Bible will tells us what the will of God is as

emphasized by the words ending the verse- What is good and well-pleasing and perfect. This

is how we will know the will of God; The one thing that would remain even if everything

changes.
