Fear

I was up early this Sunday morning (6 am) after a great bbq up in Newmarket last night. So I turned on the tv and watched a pastor named Dr. Michael Youssef preaching. He was talking about how fear is a sin! In the story when Jesus and the disciples were on a boat caught in the middle of a ferocious storm, Jesus told them sternly to stop worrying. After which, he calmed the storm. Dr. Youssef says that before He changes any of our negative or trying circumstances, God wants us to kill the spirit of worrying and fear and plant in our hearts a firm unwavering faith.

In short word, fear comes from the absence of faith. And vice versa, faith results in the absence of fear.

Jesus did talk about worrying and how it wouldn't solve anything. And watching Dr. Youssef speak about Jesus has rekindled in me the desire to know more about who Jesus really is in His actions and words.
