Fasting Can be Just Hypocrisy

John Piper, in his book comments, “if the reward you aim at in fasting is the admiration of others, that is what you will get, and that will be all you get. In other words, the danger of hypocrisy is that it is so successful. It aims at the praise of men, and it succeeds. But that’s all.” (John Piper in his book, A Hunger for God).
