When You Fast

The Gospel of the Kingdom - Message 44 - When You Fast - Matthew 6:16-18. This third topic of personal righteousness, following Jesus' instruction on giving and praying, continues to reinforce the theme in Christ's teaching that when we obey God, while men may see, we do not do it for men to see. We practice righteousness for an audience of One, with a motive of love, obedience, and being pleasing to our Heavenly Father. "What our Lord says about fasting is equally applicable to the whole question of discipline in our spiritual life." – DM Lloyd-Jones
