2011 40-days

A Fast Word About Fasting…

To all of you that are soon to be “40-dayers” a part of the process is fasting.  As you are giving thoughtful consideration to this part of the 40-days of prayer and fasting let me give you a something to think about:

This may be stating the obvious, but let me go ahead and warn you…fasting is not meant to be easy.  As John Piper states in his book, “A Hunger for God”: “Fasting is meant to starve sin, not us.”   So get ready, it’s going to be tough and you will not like it; but you will like the results.  Fasting is about giving up the lesser so you will be able to focus on the greater.  As hard as it may be, don’t miss this; you will not regret it.

More coming…

These are the random musings of a man whose goal is to make Jesus the paramount pursuit of my life who, while in this effort, is writing down a few lessons I've learned along the way. You'll have to decide if they are worth heeding but at least you may learn a few things not to do.

  1. Good morning Pastor…..you are right nothing good comes without sacrifice. What is good for us is not always easy for us. We are looking forward to the 40 days and expecting great things! Have a blessed day….Love Ann & Joe (your Romans)
