Re: [TruthTalk] Truth on Lent

[CHamm56114]

So should we tell people that are celebrating Lent that they are wrong?  Hardly   most of them are not doing anything wrong.  I think we get so hung up on all this stuff that we boggle our minds with it and can't do any good at all.  To most people I know Lent is simply the 40 day period before Easter and a good time for personal reflection and possible giving something up that isn't good for them anyway.  I can't see God getting too upset if someone uses this for good.   Just curious to what you all think!  Question is -  is it wrong for someone to celebrate something even if the roots are pagan   IF they aren't doing it for pagan reasons?   Laura
