TRUTH FOR TODAY

Glenn E. Hawkins, Evangelist

 FEARFUL OR FEARLESS?  [3]

          Fear keeps us from admitting our sin and turning back to God.  Adam sinned and hid himself because he was afraid (Genesis 3:10).  The one-talent man never used his talent because of fear (Matthew 25:25).  Saul couldn’t face the giant because he was afraid (1 Samuel 17:11).  Fear paralyzes us from serving and sacrificing our life to God.  Remember, God gives us power, love and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).   (more next week)
