Their colleague had become the subject of discussion as a long fast had significantly altered his physical specifications. None of them could summon the courage to tell him to his face but they felt the spiritual gains though worthwhile could be deferred in view of the adverse reaction which had turned him into a different specimen. They were echoing a trend where even pastors are quick to doubt when a member unwilling to trumpet that they are fasting answers that there is no problem when asked ?hope all is well??

?But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye.? ? Acts 4: 19 (KJV)

In life there is a time to voluntarily lose weight
Let the Son shine in your heart daily
