What Scares Fear

 Fear. 
It puts on its menacing face and skulks around the edges of things. Sometimes it hums a low, foreboding rumble almost out of earshot, and we don’t even realize how its vibrations tense up our words, our bodies, and our plans. Scary, isn’t it? There’s even a word for that:  phobophobia -  the fear of fear.

But 1 John 4:18 says “there is no fear in love” just as “there is no crying in baseball.” Remember the movie “A League of Their Own?”

On Sunday we will look at what scares fear and sends it packing. Can we believe there is simply no room for it if we can shift our perspective? Maybe we can experiment with that and compare notes. What is faith if not something we live and practice together? 

We also have special guest composer and lyricist Randy Cox from Nashville visiting this weekend. If you or someone you know is interested in attending his songwriters workshop on Friday evening and Saturday, there is still space. Details here:

Grace and peace,
