Fasting, like Sabbath, is a way to turn our hearts and minds to the God who sustains. It is a way to connect our physical longings with our spiritual dependence on God.

Here's an awesome tool for you to add to your arsenal that will help you get more out of your Bible reading.

You probably don't hate your enemies. There are some, sure. But you're more likely to be dismissive of those who you would consider enemies or "other." Jesus calls us to not just avoid retaliation, but to seek the good of our enemies.

In Ephesians 5, Paul tells us that marriage is a picture between Christ and the Church. What would it take for Christ to divorce his bride? This is the ideal that Jesus is laying out in the gospels when he speaks of marriage and divorce. Much of the debate around divorce is trying to figure out exactly when divorce is or isn't allowed, but we pay little attention to the design of marriage in the first place.
