DON'T BE AFRAID

This is a thoughtful blog piece from a pastor, Dr. Russell Moore of Louisville, Kentucky. In it he writes:

Don’t Be Afraid

— Monday, March 22nd, 2010 —

“Now these three abide: anger, outrage, and fear—and the greatest of these is fear.”

That’s not in the Bible.

But sometimes I wonder if I think it is.

The United States House of Representatives just passed a health care reform bill that I and lots of other Christians opposed. Such legislation should concern us. There are some bad consequences for the weakest and most vulnerable among us, principally unborn children. But should it also concern us that so many of us are talking today about how afraid we are?

Is it a problem that some of us who are tranquil as still water about biblical doctrine and ecclesial mission are red-faced about Nancy Pelosi and the talking heads on MSNBC? Is it a problem that some who haven’t shared the gospel with their neighbors in months or years are motivated to vent to strangers on the street about how scary national health care will be?"

I would encourage you to click this link and read the rest of his thoughts. Then tell me what you think.

Don’t Be Afraid
