The Puritan abolishing of the traditional Church calendar left a vacuum that the secular Statist, and now pagan globalist, calendar has been more than happy to fill.
But hey, maybe we can just return to the Puritan communion season traditions that the Regulative Principle birthed.
Every branch of the Church in its sincere attempt to honor Christ produces traditions that find no explicit warrant in Holy Scripture. We live an embodied existence, no matter how we war against it.
For me, Lent is as precious as Advent and Christmas. But appreciating it takes putting worship of and love toward God first, and letting everything else flow from that. The man who makes theology and politics and culture-warring first will not understand, without reorienting himself.
