When you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by […]
Read More OTKC 15: Fast In SecretHow do you follow Jesus? I wish I asked that question a lot more intentionally when I started the journey. As it was, I was brought up in a church environment and so I assumed a lot and a lot was assumed of me. Assumptions can really make a … silly situation for all parties […]
Read More Dryden Links: Fast TrackWhen you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. Matthew 6:16 They did it to show others that no one could do religious rituals like they could. They did it to show […]
Read More King Jesus Says – Fast for the Father to SeeWhen engaging with the word of God there is something incumbent on me the reader that challenges me to discover how now should I live in the light of what I’ve heard.

Read More Insight From Matthew – Beating Boredom By Being Bout BusinessSo there’ll be some more information on the news of yesterday and where we’re going, etc. Before you get that info though I was just thinking about how it’s important to check when God is speaking and then act pretty sharp-ish on it.

Sometimes in those tight situations that question isn’t so much why you did what you did. Sometimes what you did was right, but tight spots like hot-spots are not good spots. Yet it’s in those spots that we can […]
Read More HATAR – What Have I DoneFor here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Hebrews 13:14 It was a very interesting day today.

Read More HATAR: Here But Not To Stay: The Wilderness ExperienceJesus told his disciples that those who hunger and thirst after righteousness (HATAR) shall be satisfied and I recognise that that sense of satisfaction that I need in life comes back to the issue of where I’m hungering and thirsting after.

Read More HATAR – Fast Reflections – Giving It All UpI was thinking – yeah shock I know – how the blogposts give an insight into what I’m thinking at a given time, but don’t really offer that much insight into who I am and what I do, which is cool in some cases, but not in all. Then remembering the series on fasting and […]
Read More Fast and the Curious: A Grace ExpressionSo this is blog entry 150 for the year. One short of equalling the year’s record set in 2007 and thus only two short of exceeding that record and at the rate of entries on course to break that mystical 200 barrier.
