As we begin wrapping up our series on sanctification (can you believe next week is the last time I'll teach this year's seniors? or that the week after that is senior speeches? or the week after that is promotion Sunday, where we get our new incoming class?) you'll want to re-read Matthew 6 and focus on giving, fasting, and then the remainder of the chapter regarding God & "mammon."
You'll also benefit from reading Acts 13: 1--4 regarding fasting. Why do you think they undertook this practice?
If you read Matthew 13: 44-46 and Luke 18:18 ff you'll get some more insight into where we're headed with some "spiritual disciplines."
And finally, if you check out 2 Corinthians 9: 7 and 2 Corinthians 8: 8 & 9 you'll get some insight into attitudes we should have as we deal with giving.
Have a great Mother's Day, and I'll see you in class!
