Week one is almost over, Grace Fellowship fasters. Whether you fasted 1, 2 or 3 days, we are encouraged by you and the steps you've taken to pursue God this week, and we've enjoyed hearing from you about your fasts.
Kelly and I were reading some of St. Augustine's thoughts about fasting this week, and he had an amazing point: Fasting was the first command from God in the Bible and the beginning of God's law —"Thou shalt not eat." He says "Because we have not fasted, we fell from Paradise. Hence we should fast, so that we might return there." Wow.
If you haven't been visiting the Fasting Challenge Facebook page, be sure to check it out. Many people are sharing their experiences and encouragement on the Wall and on the Discussions tab.
Keep praying for your relationship with Christ and for Grace as we move forward together. We're praying for you.
