Bible app doesn’t get the season

·

A real push notification on my phone right now:

As the Easter season begins, start a Reading Plan today

Two gut responses:

  1. The “Bible” app, YouVersion doesn’t actually know that Lent begins today, not Easter? Who doesn’t get that Lent isn’t Easter?
  2. The Advent/Christmas problem is invading Lent! The world mischaracterizes Advent as the Christmas Season–does that mean we are going to do the same to Lent?

In a few years, will people be giving up chocolate and going to Fish Fries for the Easter Season to prepare for Easter?

I think this is the real problem of our post-Chrstendom context.
