Why do we hate so much. If u dont understand something just lv it alone or better still ask for clearification in an understanding and respectful manner. To all those making castigating comments about Lent and ofcourse making subtle refrences to the ways of the catholic church. Lent is just a period of retreat, a time to once again reflect on ur life and repent and retrace ur steps and make d decesion to live a holy life subsequently. No one has said its just a period u stay away from sin and den go back to dem after. Why would any church even preach that. Even in penticostal churches i believe there are certain revival programmes, crusdes and confrences organized occationally to win souls for christ or like a revival to get people who have backslided to reflect and retrace their steps. Thats what lent is for goodness sake. Its a revival program. Why cant we just learn to be tolerant, understanding and respecting of other ppls beliefs and ways. And we always wonder why the body of christ cannot grow. Sometimes i wonder why we get upset when muslims show dislike for us wen among us christians, denomination is against denomination. SMH. If we cant tolerate ourselves what do we expect from outsiders. If christ can love those who dont even acknowledge him as God, then who are we to continually castigate each other. My brothers and sisters, we may never fully understand each others wayz but we can tolerate and respect each other and lv judgement for God.

Luke 10vs 13. Daniel 9vs 3, Jer 6vs 26. Ash Wednesday. Repentance, fasting, prayer, forgiveness and charity.

If you are waiting for lenten season before you do away with your sins then you are not serious. Living a life of righteousness should be a daily routine. You don't struggle to abstain from sin only for a season. What if God takes you life back before the season comes. Everybody will stand before God to give account of his stewardship on earth. You need to repent from your sins and accept Jesus as your Lord and personal saviour. Except a man is born again he can not see the kingdom of God. If you repent genuinely, the Holy Spirit will guide you on successful Christian living. Take that bold initiative today. God bless you.

u are very right brother but the problem is that many people dont even understand what lent is. Its like when penticostals have for example a 21day revival programme just to win new souls for God and then to reach out to backsliding members to retrace their steps and be revived once again. But of course just like u would still have ppl who will be really touched and serious only for that 21days and still go back to their sinful ways after the programme, thats how u see unserious ones who just try to be righteous only for that lent period. But ultimately their are people who truly do repent during the lent programme and subsequently after, strive through the help of the Holy Spirit to live a righteous life that pleases God. The thing is just that some people are not just serious with their christian lives

Let the boy be, he told the TRUTH.

I was never holding him na.

ever heard the phrase" crabs in a bucket"

when one is trying to come out, the others drag it back down.

that is what the boy was doing. you don't take swipes at another religion or doctrine just so to make your point clear.

same advise I will give you as well. live and let live.
