the sermon on the mount

There are those that believe what they say has very little, or nothing to do with their lives, or future, there fore James 3, in its entirety to me proves otherwise. I love it and quote it quite frequently. any other comments on it?

One thing I get from James 3 is the point of it saying that if anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man. What I take away from that is we could be almost perfect if we kept our mouths shut. If we think about things we've said just in the last several days, have our words been encouraging, uplifting & wholesome? Or have they gotten you in trouble, upset someone, drug someone down? We all struggle to keep a tamer on our tongue. We may sing & give God glory during our worship time & then turn around & say something hateful about a member of the church or the leader of the choir at the dinner table. That tongue - merciful heavens, that's a doozy.

yes very good

I want to learn more about fasting. Is there a certain time of the year that everyone fast. Or can it be done anytime.

Judaism & Islam functions as groups. God deals with Israel as a group, a nation. The Church is a more "one on one" type of thing.  It's more of a personal individual relationship type of thing. So its what your agreement with the God is, when and how you want to fast. Some drink water with the fast, some don't. Some do a Daniel's fast by just eating fruit. But fasting developed a more deeper thing to me than just abstaining from food. As we punish the stomach by denying it from food, so we need to punish our fleshly desires, cravings from denying it from sinful pleasures. As I would be fasting, there's a certain weakness in my life that I'm targeting ex. "lust of the eye". So, I'll be shutting my eyes to the wrong with the help of the Holy Spirit until eventually I get the victory. I use to fast punishing my stomach, but is that really what the God is interested in, or is he interested in me taking control of my lustful appetite punishing the flesh, the sinful nature?   1Co_9:27  But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
