More and more, professing Christians do what is right in
their own eyes. For example, some have now decided to follow Rome and observe
Lent, which is never mentioned anywhere in the Bible. One could claim that
because Jesus fasted 40 days in the wilderness, Lent emerged as a time churches
observe. But does the Word of God instruct us to do so? No.
Some aspects of the traditions of men might appear to
have a certain reasonableness to them, but that is beside the point: The Bible
must be the only authority for faith and practice for the child of God.
Lent is like lint—a useless bit of fluff fit only
for the trash can.
