Tonight in youth group we will be taking a look at the subject of fasting. Fasting is an incredible spiritual discipline that seems to almost be a lost art among the upcoming generation of believers. We will search the Bible for its origin and purpose; and ultimately we will see that this is something we should all be including in our lives as Christians.
So, what do you think fasting is all about? Is it limited to food? Is there any reason for a non-believer to fast? Why should you fast?
so is giving something up forever fasting…or not really?
not really… fasting is when you lay something aside for a period of time in order to pursue God. If there is something in your life that is hindering your walk with God, then you may need to give that up forever. But that goes more along the lines of what the Bible is talking about when it says that we must “die to ourselves”. Make sense?
