DANGER AHEAD!
Everyday we are surrounded by danger and things that can kill us. On average, 93 people die each day in North Carolina in automobile crashes — one every 16 minutes. Yet we hardly think about it as we take our life in our own hands driving 70 miles an hour down the interstate. We are just inches away from someone else driving the same speed or faster in a two ton vehicle.
There are many things that we do every day that are inherently dangerous yet we hardly think about it.
Many people have dangerous occupations working with machines where one wrong move could result in losing fingers, hands, an arm, or a leg. How many times have you “almost” fell from a ladder while cleaning out a gutter or working on your roof?
We are surrounded by danger every moment of the day.
Life is always dangerous; we are simply often oblivious to the dangers around us or we would all have ulcers and panic attacks.



The gospel of Jesus Christ is one great battle cry against fear. The message is loud and clear: "FEAR NOT!"
  • Be not faithless but believing!
  • O ye of little faith!
  • Let not your heart be troubled neither let it be afraid!

II Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

I John 4:18 a There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.

Fear is a demonic spirit that seeks to torment; it will
eat you alive. It will wear you down until all your strength and resistance are gone. It will paralyze you with its terror. It will eat away at your faith until you believe the worst and expect the worst. When fear has accomplished its work, it leaves you helpless and despairing, while hell rejoices.

Meditate on the Word of God today and quote the words of the Psalmist:

"When I am frightened, O Lord, remind me that you are a shield all around me ( Psalm 3:3 ) and my refuge and fortress against all of life’s dangers." ( Psalm 46:1 )

Resilient Apparel by the Atwoods
Nathan & Alison Atwood are state-side from their missionary work in Honduras and they have started a business. You can get all your spiritual t-shirts and other accessories from them.
(Click on the shirts to go to the site)

These designs are inspired by a personal journey of faith of the Atwood family. In 2018 Nathan was diagnosed with kidney failure while his family was living and serving overseas as missionaries. The next two years were spent pushing forward to bring their two beautiful foster children home and reunite their family of six. Now Nathan has received the miracle of life with a new kidney, their children have been adopted and they are embarking on a new journey to tangibly display the faithfulness and love of God.
