Dealing with Fear (borrowed from David Dunn on Facebook)

Jesus-the Disciples-the Storm-“Why are you so afraid?”Jesus caused them to question their fears. Why? When we feel like our fears are the final authority, they guide our lives. But when we start to question our fears, we begin to realize they are not the final authority. God is.When we’re afraid,we will probably choose one of three ways to respond: to live with fear; to run from fear;or to face up to fear with faith.

10 Reasons Why I Love Evangelism by Greg Stier (Dare2Share.org)

1. It is the red-headed stepchild of the church (and I love red-headed step children so much that I married one!) (REMEMBER THIS IS BY GREG STIER, NOT ANDREA SCHULER!!!) lol
2. It will bring excitement into any congregation and every conversation.
3. It leads to discipleship which leads to more evangelism...or is should anyway.
4. It is sharing the best news on the planet. And who doesn't love spreading good news?
5. It is a message that needs to be verbally explained and I'm chatty...'nuf said.
6. It ticks off "Christians" who don't believe in the inherent power of the gospel message.
7. It ticks off Satan who does believe in the inherent power of the gospel message.
8. It glorifies God by recruiting more worshippers to praise His awesome Name!
9. It delivers a powerful message through weak, jars-of-clay vessles like me.
10. It is the greatest story ever told!
