Fear is a powerful controller.
It either compels us to do what is irresponsible or it impedes us from living responsibly. After several years of teaching evangelism and overseeing evangelistic outreaches, I can tell you with confidence that the number one reason people don't share their faith is fear. Agoraphobia, fear of being in public, is one of the fastest growing psychological disorders. Fear of failure, fear of the devil, fear of man, fear of everything is plaguing our society. God's kingdom can only be established by faithful and courageous people Lord, I purpose to be strong and courageous in Your name, ready and trustworthy to accomplish Your will.
