The biblical definition of fasting always refers to an abstinence from food of some sort. However, that doesn't mean that God will not honor your sacrifices of other things. There is much to be gained from self discipline in the pursuit of the Lord, but there is nothing like fasting (abstaining...

I have done 21 day fasts a few times in my life. The first time i did it was on a juice fast. I never fasted specifically for financial reasons, i had many things I was petitioning God for. Each time He answered in unexpected ways, with amazing insight, gifts, and His presences in a tangible...

remember that its not about what you do, but why you do it. The context of the passage clearly speaks about the intentions of the person fasting (or praying, or giving). It says "that they may appear to men to be fasting". Its the motive off wanting to be seen or doing things with the expressed...

I understand your thoughts on this issue, but I think Christians like Frederick Douglas, and others who lived through the horrors of slavery (rape, man-stealing, starvation, whipping, murder, etc) at the hands of "ministers" of the gospel would argue that the nation in their day was even more...

I applaud your desire to seek the Lord and your thoughts of wanting to set up something that you can complete while not feeling like junk, but I disagree with your conclusions. Yes the body should be maintained in a very specific way. The Lord did design us to be hydrated, but He also designed...

don't sweat it that much sir. the guilt is natural because you feel as though you not only disappointed yourself but God as well. First of all, understand that fasting scriputally always has to do with food, but that's another story. Your attempt to discipline yourself in that way was a lofty...

No sir..or ma'am. there is no EXPLICIT command of Jesus to His disciples or us to fast and pray, but it does seem to be an IMPLICIT expectation. as was stated earlier, the passage that states "when you fast..." If He did not expect that people would fast or if He thought it was not a good idea...

its my opinion that wealth is relative. we serve the God of the universe. EVERYTHING belongs to Him, we are just stewards over it. Our definition of wealth is based on what 'we think' wealth is, but what is wealth to God? How much is too much based on God's ability to bless? Does God ever run...

I understand your view of christians not voting for pro-abortion candidates, but what if you have one proabortion candidate and the opposition is a member of a cult that denounces faith in Jesus as the only way to salvation (faith + works), and was a leader of that cult which publicly supports...

destination denotes a place of arrival. its tough for us to comprehend this because arrival for us requires the passing of time, but God is eternal. This doesn't just mean that He never dies, but also that He exists outside of time itself. In order to understand predestination you have to...

Even now i'm not settled in my view of tithing as a whole, but I do it because i believe that the collection of members in the church can do way more as a group than i can individually with my own resources. Consider that laws are given to the lawless, the 10% is a requirement that was given...
