Fasting: It's not just for Lent anymore
2 comments
In my dozen years or so as a Christ follower, I have had very little experience with the discipline of fasting. My sole experience has been tied up in the idea of “giving something up” for Lent.
I think this must be true for many Protestant Christians, since when I tell people I’m fasting for Advent, I get responses such as:
“What? It’s Advent, not Lent!”
and
“Interesting… a Lenten approach to Advent…”
However, it seemed to me that Advent is a perfect time to consider fasting. It’s a time in the Christian calendar when we are awaiting and looking forward to the arrival of our Lord and Savior.
