Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent. Its official name is “Day of Ashes,” so called because of the practice of rubbing ashes on one’s forehead in the sign of a cross. Since it is exactly 40 days (excluding Sundays) before Easter Sunday, it will always fall on a Wednesday there cannot be an “Ash Thursday” or “Ash Monday.” The Bible never mentions Ash Wednesday—for that matter, it never mentions Lent. Lent is intended to be a time of self-denial, moderation, fasting, and the forsaking of sinful activities and habits. Ash Wednesday commences this period of spiritual discipline. Ash Wednesday and Lent are observed by most Catholics and some Protestant denominations. The Eastern Orthodox Church does not observe Ash Wednesday; instead, they start Lent on “Clean Monday.” While the Bible does not mention Ash Wednesday, it does record accounts of people in the Old Testament using dust and ashes as symbols of repentance and/or mourning (2 Samuel 13:19; Esther 4:1; Job 2:8; Daniel 9:3). The modern tradition of rubbing a cross on a person’s forehead supposedly identifies that person with Jesus Christ. Should a Christian observe Ash Wednesday? Since the Bible nowhere explicitly commands or condemns such a practice, Christians are at liberty to prayerfully decide whether or not to observe Ash Wednesday. If a Christian decides to observe Ash Wednesday and/or Lent, it is important to have a biblical perspective. Jesus warned us against making a show of our fasting: “When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen” (Matthew 6:16-18). We must not allow spiritual discipline to become spiritual pride. It is a good thing to repent of sinful activities, but that’s something Christians should do every day, not just during Lent. It’s a good thing to clearly identify oneself as a Christian, but, again, this should be an everyday identification. And it is good to remember that no ritual can make one’s heart right with God.

for the sake of clarity. Undoubtably every person is created and owned by a supreme being, but this post is writen in a context |
Flexherbal:since marriage is not compulsory is some religion, what about that? |
tpiaobsession:wrong use of philosophy, your analogy lacks a logical connection, N.B: it is writen contextually |
tpiaobsession:how does my church relates to this post? |
what is your own take on this? ARGUMENT: {Mother} - My son must obey me unless he didn't suck my breasts for 1yr. {Wife} - He sucks mine now and sucked it for more than 5yrs and is still sucking. (Mother} - I carried him for nine months. {Wife} - He was only 3.5kg then, so what's the big deal? I carry him every night and he is 85kg now. {Mother} - He passed between my legs with pains. {Wife} - Hahaha, he only passed there once, he stays between my legs like everyday and I scream with pains each night. Please WHO OWNS A MAN? |

I jst tot dat i wld share more lovin memories of growing up wit my mom MRS AGNES DAVID SAIRUWA. All i can say is dat she was d best mother anyone could ever have. MOM not only raised me, but raised my 4 siblims alongside. You were precious a gift from God, so much beauty, grace patience n love u possessed. A xtian u were, in words n in actions, you took great commitment in ur church duties until ur health started to decline, u heard God' whisper, callin u home u didn't want to leave us, we saw how u struggled, u loved us sooo much dat u held on tight, until all ur strength was gone, and u could no longer hold on.finally u gave ur hand to God and slipped away quietly without telin us bye. Beloved MUM, ur death left a big void in our hearts and still does to dis very moment. But as time passess on we have learned to appreciate the valuable life lessons u passed to us. It's funny how some of the things that u used to say still ring in my ear today. So many times, I wished that I had listened to ur instructions, but as a young boy growin up, i always want it done in my own style. One thing I can say about Mom, she did not put up with a lot of foolishness when it came to raising her children. Her firm voice and stern ways kept us in line, and I thank her for dat. Mom, I dedicate this writing in ur memory. Just know dat you have touched so many lives during your stay with us on this earth and for that we are forever grateful.

it is widely said and sometimes accepted that ladies are hard to understant as regard to guys. Is this really true or a mere fallacy? |
Dear Mum I have decided to talk to you, to let youknow my feelings. I want to know why you did it. My story is short. I have stayed inside you for only three months. I was very comfortable and warm. I felt really protected. I know you are a special person because I ate the food you ate. I longed for the day I would see your face. Nine months was a long time to wait, but I was determined to wait. I had to be patient. One day I heard you converse with a man about me, and at some stage you quarreled. The man then offered you some money to get rid of me. I was happy and prayed that this meant that I would at least see you, the only person that I knew in the world: I was wrong. I had almost forgotten the issues until I felt something sharp pierce my tiny ear. I jerked silently and in pain, and asked you to protect me. Seconds later the object came, fiercer than before. My tiny was cut up, starting from the ears then arms and legs. It was an agonizing experience, my head was then cut off and I died. It took me a whole hour to die, a whole hour for an innocent three months human being to be murdered. I remember the whole incidence vividly and I keep asking myself,what I did to deserve that cruel death? Why me? Why did you do it to me? And why was I not given a chance to live? I know you are having a lot of nightmares. You remain guilty for the beastly act. Please explain to your God why you committed the heinous act. Personally I have forgiven you though I never lived to see your face. My journey to back to my creator was safe and I arrived safely. I was given a red carpet welcome by an angel. I am in fact, without bitterness. I still love you mum. But the question is Do u support Abortion ![]() A. Yes B. No C. Maybe |

thorpido:the agberos are the ones that resisted the slaps, remember they are less in number than those the slap helped |
Yorùbá mothers are one of the best when it comes to child upbringing.Yorùbá mothers produce the best range of slaps: IGBATI,IFOTI, IGBAJU, IGBARUN, IFORUN, IFAKUN, ILADI, ABARA.These slaps will make you think you were adopted.IGBATI will make you correct your wrongs instantly! Thebeauty of IFOTI is, you will confess your sins on the spot.IGBARUN, IGBAJU and IFORUN will make you expose those who committed the crime with you without hesitation.ABARA and ILADI will make you pee in your new pants.Now ABARA is the worst...And apart from IGBAJU, we have an advanced one which is IGBAJU OLOYI. When you receive that one, you'll lose balance and your head will go into "auto-search" as you'll be looking for what hit you.This will make you do all the actions of the other slaps aforementioned at once!OH! IGBAJU OLOYI... it can reset someone to 3D (DEAF,DUMB, and DAFT). She will say let's go home and u will say it's in my pocket ma. lolz. God bless our parents for the good upbringing. If you were brought-up in Yoruba land, regardless of how caring your mother was, you'd have encountered these slaps ....I knw u re laughing unless u re not a Yoruba=)) =)) =)) |
