Friday Fast

This Friday is the day that we remember what Jesus did for the entire human race in a single act of humility. Why do we call it GOOD Friday? Because of Sunday.

As I did last Sunday, I want to invite you to fast with me on Friday as we reflect and renew. I encourage you to fast from food (as medical conditions allow) from sunup to sundown.

And as you fast, to use the time that you would normally use to eat to Reflect . . . read one (or all) the stories of Jesus' sacrifice and resurrection (Matthew 26-28; Mark 14-16; Luke 22-24; John 18-20) and ask God to reveal in new ways what Jesus did for you.

And Renew . . . pray that you will understand more and more - and walk in - what it means to follow Jesus. That you will give ALL. That you will be immersed in the pool. That you will give yourself to others and give all you have back to God. That you will live at the 'speed of love.'
