The Sabbath gives me the chance to finally give some thought to this.

When I first posted, what I was wondering is how modern folks with a reformed perspective incorporate fasting into their personal faith and practice. While my time on PB is limited, it doesn't seem like fasting is a topic that comes up very often, although scripture clearly sees it as a practice that has spiritual benefit.

I do appreciate the posts that give an historical perspective. I found Mr. Scudder's Daily Walk beneficial in many areas, but especially so regarding fasting. His "preparation" takes me a good chunk of the day and leaves me thoroughly edified.

So, what is your practice now? How is fasting practiced in your congregation?

Thanks in advance.
