    Biblical Fasting

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jul 24, 2017
     | 4,584 views

    Fasting has been misused by mystics and sometimes remained a mystery to many committed Christians. Although opinions are mixed on the issue, I believe we can carve out a Biblical position that, while perhaps incomplete, will lay a good foundation.

    Biblical Fasting (Matthew 9: 14-15) 1. This is perhaps the most awful pun you will hear. 2. Mahatma Gandhi went around barefoot quite often, and eventually his soles turned very tough and thick. Of course he also was a devout Hindu. Later in life he also fasted a lot, becoming thin and ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 4,426 views

    Because we want others to approve of us, we feel a pressure to displace some of God’s commands with peer group rules or trends.

    The Danger of Displacement (Mark 7:1-13) 1. One of my favorite Jewish jokes (I have told before) is the following: 2. A Jewish congregation was arguing over whether one should stand or sit during the Shema Yisrael. Half of the congregation said one should sit, the other half insisted one should ...read more

    BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD. John 1:29-37. John the Baptist pointed to Jesus and said to the crowds around him, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” The next day he repeated to two of his own disciples, “Behold the Lamb of God!” What did John the Baptist mean when he called ...read more

    Why Is It Necessary To Consecrate Ourselves For Service?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 6, 2024
     | 672 views

    Too often we put everything toward the church building and programs, and at the same time we are denying the church body.

    Previously, David had instructed Solomon about the Temple. Now in this passage of Scripture, the people bring gifts for the Temple. It is feasible for us to be so fixated on a church building that we have disregard of the genuine church, God’s children. Yet, the contrary reaction, ignoring the ...read more
