Fast thoughts

Details: Published: Friday, 14 April 2017 11:14; Written by James Dean

As we move from Maundy Thursday into Good Friday I know that some of you are in the middle of a 24 hour fast. I've put together a document which brings together extracts from several helpful articles about biblical fasting, what it is and why we do it as Christians (original article links are included too).

One very useful quote for us all to focus on is this:

"Fasting is only a good work when it is linked to the purpose of prayer. This means that whether or not we fast, we can still pray. But if we don’t pray, fasting is futile."

So let's not waste our fasting and ensure that we use this time to pray: pray for the lost, pray for our church, pray that we might find a full time pastor, pray for our brothers & sisters who are facing persecution for the sake of Christ.

For His eternal glory!
