If we don't utilize what the pastor is telling us, our spiritual lives will atrophy. It is a daily process to learn to lean on Jesus and gradually leave our sinful ways behind. Recognize godly people. Pastors must lead. Learn to deal with relational problems.
Indecision is internal defeat.
I'm mourning for your sins. Fasting is a divine corrective to the pride of the human heart. People would love God more if they understood Him more. I've got 40 days for God to hear me more closely. A fasting person is using a means that God has chosen to make his voice be heard on high.
