Fasting in the Presence of God

Saturday, August 22, 2009

Jesus said in Matthew 6:1, "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven." In this whole section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is talking about personal righteousness. That is, how are we to live our lives in the presence of God. All that we do is to be done as unto the Lord living in His presence. We are living our lives in His presence and so how we live is very important. The ultimate goal in our lives should not be to please men first but God. That is the right order. This week we apply this to the matter of fasting and its implications to the rest of life.

Articles from Alex Dodson

The Great Tribulation

Today, the popular dispensational view of Christ’s Second Coming includes a period of time called the great tribulation. This is said to last seven years. It is preceded by the rapture of the church. After this tribulation which effects primarily Israel and the Jews and the end time world, the millennium begins with Jesus reigning on his throne from Jerusalem. This view is very popular today and is reflected in such publications as the Left Behind series. All evangelical Christians believe in the Second Coming of Christ. This is not in question. The question this article is concerned with is this popular view of the great tribulation. Is the popular view correct? What exactly does the Bible say? Is it possible to have a different view of this great tribulation than the popular view stated above and still be biblical?
