Baptists do not celebrate lent because it is not Biblical. You will not find any mention of Jews or Christians observing an annual period of 40 days of fasting and abstinence preceding the festival of the Passover, yet most of the “Christian” world observes a 40 day period called Lent, which precedes Easter Sunday.
Some say that Baptists should participate in Lent for a number of reasons. I will give you three of the reasons that they cite, and give you the reasons that they are incorrect
How is it that we can grow spiritually? How is it that we can develop spiritual disciplines in our lives? What do we need to do, to make that happen? and do that thing, whatever that is, it’s not comfortable. Good. I don’t want you to be comfortable. I don’t want you to go through your spiritual life Just being comfortable. You’re supposed to deny yourself. Denying yourself is uncomfortable. The Lord said you have to deny yourself. So, if you’re not denying yourself, you’re being lazy and you’re disobeying the Lord. Turn your laziness into discipline.
