Dr. Jim Denison's 2013 collection of Lenten devotionals is entitled, "If My People..." and comes at a time that he believes "a Fifth Great Awakening is sweeping the nations, as more people are coming to Christ than ever before in Christian history. How can you join this great movement of God's Spirit?" He goes on to write, "in this year's Lenten devotional guide, we will walk each day with King Solomon as he leads his nation into God's presence and glory. We will commit ourselves to our Father's purpose and experience his transforming power. And we will claim his promise: 'If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land' (2 Chronicles 7:14). 'If My People ...' is more than a Lenten guide - it is God's invitation to intimacy with him. Please join us on this joyous journey."

Will you pay the price of holiness?
When a deserter was brought to Alexander the Great, the general asked the soldier his name. "Alexander," came the trembling reply. The general roared: "Change your life or change your name!"
Our Scripture continues, "If my people, who are called by my name . . ." The "name" of God denotes his personality, power, and presence. To be called by his "name" meant to be associated personally with him, in the same way a surname identi es a person with a particular family. There is no greater honor than to be included in the family of the King of Kings.
Now our King invites us to join the movement of his Spirit in bringing awakening to the nations. As "Christians," we bear the name of our Messiah and Lord. To honor his name and join his movement, do you need to change your behavior?
What step into holiness is your holy God calling you to take today?
