What is LENT? ~ Do True Christians Observe This? 
The 40-day fast of Lent is said to commemorate the 40-day fast of Christ. Yet, Jesus never commanded his disciples to commemorate his fast. Also, since Jesus fasted following his baptism and not before his death, the fact that some religions observe Lent in the weeks preceding Easter may seem strange. 
However, a 40-day fast in the early part of the year was common among ancient Babylonians, Egyptians, and Greeks. The so-called “Christian” custom was evidently borrowed from them. 
Futhemore, notice the connection between Mardi Gras and Lent. According to History.com: "Though Mardi Gras technically refers only to Fat Tuesday, the Mardi Gras season actually begins on Epiphany, a Christian holiday celebrated on January 6 that is otherwise known as Three Kings Day or the Twelfth Day of Christmas. 
In Brazil and many other countries, this period between Epiphany and Fat Tuesday is known as Carnival. Whichever name you prefer to use, the revelries of Mardi Gras last until midnight when Ash Wednesday ushers in 40 days of Lent." 
Too, "during the Middle Ages," according to Worldreligionnews.com, "the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday was called Shrove Tuesday because all were required to go to confessional and get guidance on their penances to perform during Lent. 
Shrove Tuesday is also called Fat Tuesday or Mardi Gras, marking the end of Carnival." Hence, the day after Mardi Gras, on Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent, one receives a cross mark on the forehead with ashes as a reminder for the need for penitence and as a form of public penance. Lastly, regarding fasting, the Bible warns against adopting “false humility.” (Colossians 2:20-23) 
Jesus’ illustration of the proud Pharisee who felt morally superior to others because of his regular fasting leaves no doubt that God rejects such an attitude. (Luke 18:9-14) 
It would also be a mistake to publicize the fact that you fast or to fast because another person tells you to do so. According to Matthew 6:16-18, Jesus counseled that fasting should be a private matter, between you and God, and that you should not announce it to others. Thus, does Lent adhere to these Bible principles? - Bible Speaks -

LAST MINUTE
The Oriol Court extends the preventive detention of Dennis Christensen
On February 22, 2018, Judge Aleksey Rudnev, of the District Court of Zheleznodorozhniy in Oriol, decided to keep Dennis Christensen in preventive detention until August 1, 2018. Mr. Christensen is being prosecuted for organizing the activity of a religious organization that has been declared an extremist. In fact, he was arrested while attending a Christian religious meeting that was assaulted by the police in May 2017.
The preliminary hearing began on February 19, the period during which the judge deferred the decision on motions that both parties presented. However, at the February 22 hearing, the judge denied all motions filed by Mr. Christensen's lawyers and decided to extend his preventive detention. The criminal trial will be on February 26 at 2:30 p.m.
Jehovah's Witnesses around the world are concerned about Mr. Christensen's well-being and pray that his wife, Irina, can persevere with the support of her husband. He has already been in preventive prevention for nine months.
On February 26, 2018, the start of the main hearings on the criminal case against Denis Christensen was scheduled. He is accused of continuing the activities of the Jehovah's Witness organization, which was liquidated by the court. In fact, Christensen has nothing to do with this organization. He only used the right that "everyone" is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, that is, the right to have religious beliefs and to act in accordance with them.
NOTE FROM THE ADMINISTRATOR OF THIS GROUP:
I feel a deep shame for the theatrical show that is giving the Russian justice, a simple puppet in the hands of the government and the Russian Orthodox sect. Thousands of Russians gave their lives in World War II to reign democracy and freedom of religion in their country. The current government, mamporrero of the Orthodox sect, has destroyed this registry of martyrs. Our brother Denis is being TORTURED in a demonic way for serving the Almighty Jehovah. Pray for him and others unjustly treated.

"From among YOU yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things to draw away the disciples after themselves." —Acts 20:30. - Bible Speaks -
Acts 20:30 
Good News Translation (GNT)
30 The time will come when some men from your own group will tell lies to lead the believers away after them. 

~ DO YOU SEE THE TIME ? CLOCK AND CALAMITY ON THE HORIZON? ~IT WILL COME! ~ LEARN NOW HOW TO GET AWAY SAFE! ~
(Ezekiel 7:5-7) “This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said, ‘A calamity, a unique calamity, look! it is coming. 6 An end itself must come. The end must come; it must awaken for you. Look! It is coming. 7 The garland must come to you, O inhabiter of the land, the time must come, the day is near. There is confusion, and not the shouting of the mountains." (Ezekiel 7;24-27)
24 "And I will bring in the worst ones of the nations, and they will certainly take possession of their houses, and I will cause the pride of the strong ones to cease, and their sanctuaries must be profaned. 25 There will come anguish, and they will certainly seek peace but there will be none. 26 There will come adversity upon adversity, and there will occur report upon report, and people will actually seek a vision from a prophet, and the law itself will perish from a priest and counsel from elderly men. 27 The king himself will go into mourning; even a chieftain will clothe himself with desolation, and the very hands of the people of the land will get disturbed. According to their way I shall act toward them, and with their judgments I shall judge them; and they will have to know that I am Jehovah.’” - Bible Speaks -

Ha! My Post Today!
DOES GOD EXIST?
This is one of the best explanations on the nature of God that I have ever seen... A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. 
As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation.  They talked about so many things and various subjects. 
When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: 'I don't believe that God exists.' 'Why do you say that?' asked the customer. 'Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that God doesn't exist. 
Tell me, if God exists, would there be so many sick people?  Would there be abandoned children? 
If God existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain.  I can't imagine a loving God who would allow all of these things..' The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because he didn't want to start an argument. 
The barber finished his job and the customer left the shop. 
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. 
He looked dirty and unkempt. The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and he said to the barber: 'You know what? Barbers do not exist.' 'How can you say that?' asked the surprised barber. 'I am here, and I am a barber. And I just worked on you!' 'No!' the customer exclaimed. 'Barbers don't exist because if they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and untrimmed beards, like that man outside.' 'Ah, but barbers DO exist! That's what happens when people do not come to me.' 'Exactly!' affirmed the customer. 'That's the point! God, too, DOES exist! That's what happens when people do not go to Him and don't look to Him for help. 
That's why there's so much pain and suffering in the world.' If you think God exists, send this to other people--- I really liked this, I hope you share it............ Bible Speaks ?

I WOULD NEVER DO THAT ~
 ?????????????
Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree that God had forbidden them. You think: "I never would!"
But do your daily decisions show that you consider that obedience to God is the best way of life?
 
Lot's wife missed abandoned products and became a pillar of salt. You think: "I would never do that!"
But are you always happy with what you have and do not envy anyone?
 
Peter denied Christ three times, fearing the opinions of the people. You think: "I would never do that!"
But were you ever afraid of what family members, colleagues or classmates would say when they knew you were a Christian?
 
Jonah refused to fulfill God's mission to preach to the people of Nineveh. You think: "I would never do that!"
But are you always willing to preach the word of God?
 
Korah and his associates rebelled against Moses. You think: "I would never do that!"
But, perhaps, did you criticize the Elders in your Christian congregation?
 
For many years, Solomon was faithful to God, but then he began to sin. You think, "I would never do that!"
But does the same fire of love and zeal for God burn you, as at the beginning of your spiritual journey? "I would never do that!" - We think, when reading the Bible.
"He who thinks he is standing, be careful not to fall," God warns us lovingly (1 Corinthians 10:12). 
Thank you Jose G.
