As a believer of Jesus Christ I don't believe in lent. I took this quote from John MacArthur which explains its pretty clear: "But for the Christian, every day is resurrection day; because we walk and talk with the living Christ every day; because His living is through us every day. We do not celebrate an event. We do not remember a dead Savior. We are not attracted by painfully distorted crucifixes. We worship, we love, we live every day in the presence of a risen, living Lord Jesus Christ. So every day is an Easter celebration for us. Every day is resurrection day. That doesn't mean it's wrong to focus on this in a special way. While the world's attention is brought to Christ, we wanna take every opportunity to speak of our Lord's resurrection, for that is ever and always our message;"
As a believer I am free in Jesus and there is nothing that I need to do, say, repeat, etc to gain His favor. All my sins - past, present and future have been forgiven. For some time I have felt the need to step away from "distractions" and delve into God's word and into deep prayer but have always found myself to say - tomorrow. Well tomorrow has come and I have taken the first step I am taking taking off from my "addiction" to Facebook. I don't know how long it will be for... but now I am submitting to Him. There are several things in my life I need to deal with and today I am ready.
