I received two questions on our Have A Question page this week that I’m willing to bet come from the same person. They also sort of are on the same topic, so I’m going to tackle them at the same time: I once had a
Should Christians have sex during Lent?
Since it’s Lent right now, I thought it would be appropriate to answer this question in a blog post, as I’m sure some others are wondering the same thing.
