The Significance of Fasting

Fasting isn’t enjoyable. Do we really need to do it? What’s the Biblical model for fasting? Is it important? Why?

What does the Bible say about fasting? Is it important? What is its significance? Do we, as Christians, really need to fast? If so, why? Is there a Biblical model that shows us how to fast?

Here’s what we’ve found Scripture to say.

The Significance of Fasting

My Brother the King

My Brother the King takes the reader on a journey from creation to the present.

This beautifully crafted poem by Tim takes the reader on a journey from creation to the present.

Does God Want Me Back?

Will God accept me after years of deliberate sin? Hebrews seems to say it’s impossible to return to God.

Sometimes we ditch God and go our own way. We live in sin, deliberately, and lose sight of our relationship with God.

Will God take us back if we decide to come back to Him? What about the passages in Hebrews that make it sound like we’re doomed if we’ve done any serious backsliding?

Check out our interpretation of those passages and what we think about the original question:

Jesus – Another Poem by Mike

Mechanical prayer doesn’t cut it. We serve a living God who loves us and wants to interact with us.

Mike Bullock is a fount of poetry.

He’s recently sent us another poem he entitled “Jesus.” It’s a good reminder not to let our prayer lives get mechanical.

Should We Pray to the Father or Jesus?

Glory

A moving Christian poem about the life of Jesus Christ.

When I check my email, and see a poem submission from Tim, I get excited.

Tim has a way of putting words on paper that create a vivid mental picture.

Glory paints a picture of the life of Jesus. He came from heaven, from a position of ultimate power, to live a life of suffering and servitude as a man. He never complained; He never sinned; He lived and died for a civilization that treated Him as an outsider.

Catholicism and Salvation

Do Roman Catholics believe that those outside the church can attain salvation?

Does the Roman Catholic Church believe that all those outside the church are doomed to hell?

Tim sheds a bit of light on the position of the Catholic church. And, of course, he throws in a few of his own opinions.
