Am I supposed to be celebrating lent?
I am so confused b/c the evengelical Christian churches I have attended since becoming a Christian have *not* talked about "giving up" something for Lent so I have not followed this practice.
My mother's church has a whole plan of what they are to eat every day of the week. erplexed If you're giving up something shouldn't it be private? I don't understand the church doing this together.
My co-worker can't eat meat on Fridays.
I'm confused. Is this something I'm supposed to be doing?
What confuses me also is why people are so caught up in this "what to do give up" and being so adamant about it and making sure everyone knows but outside of that, do nothing in regards to church or Christianity. (I'm probably judging, I know)
But I am confused!!!
Please shed some light on this.
