“I think the Scriptures teach very plainly that it is the duty of Christians to fast. The Savior in the Sermon on the Mount, gives directions for giving alms (Matt. 6:1-4), for praying (vs. 5-15), and for fasting (vs. 16-18). The three
duties are treated here exactly alike, as though they are equally binding...our faith may be increased by prayer and fasting, so
our spirituality will be increased ...”David Lipscomb
