Fear impacts the nervous system, manifesting three instinctive responses: freeze, flight, and fight. These occur in everyday life and throughout Scripture.

Most of us have been brave on occasion, but perhaps other times we have been timid. What can we do to avoid being a coward when it matters most?

When people allow fear to rule them, they lose their mind. Fear of God, however, is not mind killing, but inspires a reverential awe of the Creator.

The key to overcoming the fear of loss of control is to admit that God is in control. If we have our priorities straight, God will take care of our anxieties.

In one context, evolution is absolutely real:the transition of one of God's called-out ones from a state of fear to a state of transcendental agape love.

With His crucifixion before Him and His departure from this life near at hand, Jesus encouraged His disciples with some final help for troubled hearts.

Fear and anxiety are normal human emotions. But through changing our focus from earthly to heavenly things, we can rise above the concerns, remembering Who is with us.

Gideon incrementally moved from a position of weakness and fear to a position of strength and valor as he increasingly started to trust in God to give victory.

The church of God is not immune to the deterioration of doctrine. Minor deviations from doctrine bring about irreparable, disastrous consequences.

Matthew 10:29-31 and Luke 12:24 assure Christ's disciples that nothing escapes the attention of God, including the flight patterns of the lowly sparrows.

To escape Babylon, we must embrace God's work ethic, choosing to serve rather than be served, endeavoring to give extra measure and go the second mile.

We may find God's means of correction discouraging, but when we place His actions in context with His overall plan, we can find peace in God's sovereignty.

We have to learn to rely on God to get us out of strait and difficult situations, realizing that God may want to help us to develop a backbone and mature.

Even though we are already damaged goods when God calls us, by embracing God's truth and seeking His help, we can break the bad habits which enslave us.

The commission to the disciples evolves from their initial orders to go to the House of Israel to their ultimate commission of going to the Gentiles.

The most dangerous battle at hand is against our own flesh, where we least expect treachery and where we have become the most complacent.

We find it difficult to love our brethren as Christ loved us because we do not want to expose our vulnerability, which is anchored to self-focused pride.

If a foundation is flawed, the building cannot stand. God built His spiritual temple on the prophets and the apostles, and Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone.
