Live By Faith or Live In Fear

Good Morning!

We need to make a choice. We can either live by faith or live in fear.

The recent introduction of the body scan devices at airports has raised a lot of controversy. The TSA claims that the new devices provide the customer with greater security. I disagree. I actually think people standing in a queue line that anyone can access by just purchasing a ticket are at greater risk. The only reason a terror organization hasn’t exploded a bomb is because they have already achieved their basic purpose … they have forced us to live in fear.

I can understand a non Christian living in fear. In their mind, this puny life is all that there is – once you die, that’s it. And so they will go to great lengths to “protect” their life – and in the process forfeit that which makes life enjoyable. What a pity.

For Christians, though, this earthly existence is just the beginning. We have the hope of eternity before our eyes. I am not saying we shouldn’t embrace every day of this life – but I am saying we are free from the fear of death. And that allows us to not be held hostage by those who would “kill the body”.

I am not going to make a political statement … no, I am just going to live today and every day in faith. I hope you will too.

Have a great weekend.

Agape’
