“Prayer, fasting, and sharing must include reflection on the social dimensions of sin in our world where many people do not have an adequate share of the world’s resources. Our commitment to prayer and fasting must include a commitment to issues of justice and equality for all people. It is hypocrisy to pray and fast and then assert that the poor of the world are not our problem…”
Mary Birmingham, Word & Worship Workbook (Mahwah, NJ: Paulist Press, 1990) 135.
There’s more than enough for everyone in this world but not everyone has enough, so those with more than enough get to share. Our prayer, fasting, and sharing must lead to action. How is God stirring within you?
