“ Great Sermon! ” what scares me most is when I am fearful, being told is that very fear will get me cast into hell, what gives me courage is God's promises and examples of people in the Bible who have also had fear but were not cowards and how God dealt with them, and learning to still act even though I am in fear. As a woman I doubt I will ever stop fear or worry from occurring, and learning to conquer them is the hardest thing in the world for me, I can lessen their blows act and not be a coward, but completely dispel them I can not.
“ Great Sermon! ” coward and fearful are not the same word because fearfulness can lead to cowardice, but still doing the thing that we fear is not cowardice, crossing a rickety bridge with shaky legs is not cowardice, refusing to cross that bridge because of shaky legs is cowardice, even King David had fearful times but he did not shrink away from that which he had to do. Jesus's agony in the garden is another example that fear itself is not forbidden or a sin, but refusing to act because of fear is. we are fallible humans with a range of emotion but were not to let our emotions or our heart which is exceedingly wicked make our decisions.
Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
“ A Very, Very, Very Good Message!!! ” Thank you so much for this message, Bro. Brian. The doctrine is there but what you conveyed was not a concept or idea but the reality of our God, His "aliveness" if you will. Our God is the magnificent, holy, powerful, LIVING God; and it is this God that has such great love for us.
“ Powerful Sermon ” Itโs so good to find a pastor who is not afraid to preach forcefully about subjects like rape or the sinful passivity of some husbands and fathers.
“ Great Sermon! ” Thankyou so much for this biblical and practical sermon on this topic.I have listened to it often and all the sermons in this series. Gods promises and prayer are powerful in tearing down these ungodly emotions.Praise God for His truth and your faithful preaching of it.๐๐๐
“ Useful. ” Good and encouraging message. God used mightily this man. This year I read from his life and several of Burns' sermons and I was blessed and challenged.
