Should evangelicals promote Lenten practices?

Once more, this late winter, we have begun to hear and read about the observance of Lent.

In recent days, I have read three blog articles which were supportive (in varying degrees) of the practice. The religion pages of our weekend newspaper gave us much the same news: it’s time for Lent and thoughtful Christians will, of course, be observing it.

Should evangelicals observe lent?

This annual cycle troubles me, but not for what might be thought the obvious reasons.
