We Christians get hurt a lot, and we must be aware that it will happen. We also must be aware of our fear. We’re fearful about all sorts of things. We’re afraid we’ve lost the culture war and the horrors of sin will destroy the lives of people we love. We’re fearful because our marriages are threatened more than ever. We’re worried that our kids might get sucked into pornography on the internet. We’re afraid because of the rise of violence in our streets, the increase in drug usage … and I could go on indefinitely.
