So far, it has led many multitudes away from God , away from reading the Scripture, away from trusting Jesus.

It's part of an old system devised and meant to deceive and oppress others.

  • Act 26

    Paul's Testimony to Agrippa
    19"So, King Agrippa, I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision, 20but kept declaring both to those of Damascus first, and also at Jerusalem and then throughout all the region of Judea, and even to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance. 21"For this reason some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to put me to death

You do not repair dryers with rats. Do not feel bad. My cute little "short posts" in the short posts thread got deleted. Someone doesn't have a sense of humor.  I Don't Know

Penitence: the state or condition of regretting sins or offenses; repentance.

And repentance is not atonement.

So,

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
James 1:17-20

Where's The Beef?

Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother,
speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law,
thou art not a doer of the law,
but a judge
. James 4:10-11

Love, Your Brother Joe

We should be practicing lent all year long.  We should be doing the things befitting repentance such as making right the wrongs we have done, repaying what we have stolen, confessing if we have lied and always making restitution.  We should be remembering our Savior's death on our behalf and His conquering death and the power of satan by arising and ascending into heaven where He prays for us.  We should not place anyone or thing, entertainment or creature comfort as more important than our God.  

If Lent helps some people get back on track then by all means do so.  If it is meaningful to you, do it.  But some treat every day as the Lord's day and make Lent a lifestyle.  We prefer to stay nestled close to God and to live a lifestyle that rids us of distractions, compromise and sin.  

Blessings,

Willa

We should be turning to Yahweh every day, bringing every thought subject to Yeshua and every action, as it is written in His Word.

lent, as practiced and taught popularly, is of very bad origin and principle/ source - it has been used widely with other unbiblical doctrines to KEEP little ones from finding Yahweh's Kingdom and giving them something else deceptive in its place.
