A Message by u. S. Davis, Pastor First BaptiS
Church, at Request OF Ministerial Association.
FEAR NOT

The Bible has much to say about fear Our
Lord frequently used this term. His message and
mission to mankind was to Danish fear from the
human mind Fear not has a reaSSuring tone
and instantly fills us with courage Christ came
to change human nature The whole hope Of
making this better and happier world, was based
on this belief that mans nature can be changed
1T hath been said, thou shalt love thy neighbor
and hate thine enemy, but say unto you, love
your enemy" That a mans nature can be rad-
Cally changed, that it may be said that he is born
again, old things have passed away, all Things
nave become new is perhaps the most funda
mental doctrine OF Christianity
l. Matt 6:34: Take no burning anxiety for
tomorrow. " Our day needs this warning. What
world this would be if there were no fret, no
worry no anxiety. We Americans are often re-
pnded that this IS our heSetting sin. We are ever
IN teverSh haste. Our eyes are restless brOWs
Wrlnkled, nerves a-quiver We go thu life like
train at full speed stopping only to take more
water for more steam. 1t is little wonder that
We break down or prematurely wear out Our
national maladleS are insomnia and nervous de-
bility Our Lord suggests a remedy
H. John i4:i: Let not yOut heart be troubled
We believe in God eeleve also in me- Believe
in God Jesus teaches that GOD is a person, not
a oaSlc principle, not a cause. not power. not a
IOTCe he mas power, he originates causes, but
these are His attributes God is our Father Jesus
taught that God has time to stop and think God
cares for us. "A God who does not care does not
count This is the lesson of the lilies. True
they do not toll, yet they are busy all the while
They take no anxious thought. vet they are ever
preparing for the morrow They fulfill the law
of their being aSSimilating air and sunshine, and
the fructifying elements of the SOIL making ready
thus to bloom in their season They fold their
leaves when the storm comes, bow their heads
and meekly wait until the clouds roll by They
work but do not worry. WHY take thought for
food and raiment. Here is the universal occasion
for worry All honest people are striving for a
livelihood. The men and women we meet hurry
ing along the street thinking of food and raj
ment- This is the care Of this world. 1t is indeed
the business of every man to earn a livelihood,
but if We are in the kingdom Of Christ, we must
needs believe that with proper attention to indus
try and thrift, this will be provided tor US.
The argument of Christ is this: God remembers
all; and if He is mindful of birds and flowers how
much more shall He care for you. 1t is useless
to worry for which of you by raking thought
can add one cubit to the measure of his life Such
anxiety is unChriStian, for after all these things
