On Sunday, Eryn Mera preached on fasting. It is the third spiritual discipline we've explored this summer. Spiritual disciplines are door ways to freedom and a deeper relationship with God. Hopefully, you have taken the opportunity to practice the disciplines of prayer and meditation. Tomorrow morning there will be another morning prayer and meditation at 6:45-7:15 am. Give it a try. No one is going to make you pray out loud! Faith without prayer and meditation is like watching TV without a picture. Something is missing.
Believe it or not, the same can be said of fasting. Give fasting a try this week. Today, I am going to start small and skip lunch. Ask anyone at the church office and they will tell you that this is a sacrifice. During the time I would normally eat I am going to spend reading scripture and praying. Will you join me today? Tomorrow we will try something different.
Now here is Mick Jagger who can't get no satisfaction. Maybe he should try to go deeper. Deep Man!
