In the Sermon on the Mount as recorded by Matthew, Jesus tells us of how we are to give, pray, and fast. As Lent begins, we are given an opportunity to spend a little more time with God, deny ourselves for His sake, and give sacrificially that which was given to us by God. In this context, giving, praying and fasting are seen as the three pillars of Christianity, spiritual disciplines that each Christian ought to engage in.
