Starting off right…

By David Casey

Now that the new year is fast approaching and it’s time for us to begin the process of setting those iron-clad resolutions, (sigh) I want to challenge each of you to consider partnering with me in a one-day fast on Jan 1. We started off 2009 with this same challenge and this year will be no different.

Fasting simply isn’t about not eating for a period of time but rather denying our flesh to focus on the spirit. It’s symbolic of the daily sacrifice we have to make as we “offer ourselves as living sacrifices”. (Romans 12:1) If you can’t do an entire day, then would you consider skipping a meal or possible two?

Will you join me?

I hope you’ll kick off 2010 the best way possible… in the spirit!
