Fear


“Do not be afraid, for I am with you; do not be discouraged,
for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you...
Isaiah 41:10

“Fear is a powerful emotion that shapes all of us in profound ways we often don’t fully understand.  Look behind depression’s door and you’ll often find fear.  Addictions too.  Peer beneath broken marriages and friendships, beneath predudice and hate and you’ll find find fear.  These fears have power.  Sometimes our battles with fear take on a more serious turn, becoming a deliberating struggle with panic attacks or anxiety disorders.  Fear can imprison us, paralyze us and keep us from experiencing a full-filling and joyful life.

Most of us have known times when fear, worry, or anxiety has robbed us of the life we wanted.  At times it had led us to make bad decisions.  Sometimes it has kept us from taking risks or doing things that would have brought great meaning, fulfillment, and joy in our lives.  You can never completely eradicate fear - you need it.  But fear doesn’t have to control you.”

Hopefully, this book will get your life back ... “Unafraid” by Adam Hamilton

The Holy Spirit


“... God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through
 the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.”
Romans 5:5

The power of the Holy Spirit is God’s gift to us!!!

“The Holy Spirit comforts us, helps us, guides us,  reminds us, comes along side of us, counsels us, and intercedes and advocates us.  There is no area of life in which the believer does not need the help of the Holy Spirit.  The power of the Holy Spirit changes lives.
