First, let’s identify what idols are:

1. Is there something in your life that gives you immediate satisfaction, but, in reality is sucking the life out of your soul?
2. Is there something you pursue before anything else? Is it possible it can be categorized as an addiction?
3. Is there something or things that you think your happiness depends on if you have it? Think of the two-year-old toddler that can’t play with their toy RIGHT NOW.
4. What things do you love in your life?
5. What do you put your confidence in?
6. What do you fear?
7. What do you talk about most often?

For those of you who have been practicing some form of fasting during this season of Lent, you have given up something to find a truer purpose or sense of life. That’s what fasting is about.

For some, fasting is stepping away from food. For others, perhaps for health reasons, they fast from other things that you know have a hold on your souls — shopping, gambling, sugar, cursing, social media, the internet, electronics, etc.
