This quote is from Encountering Our Wild God.

"I have heard it stated that human nature fears what it cannot control. Yet if this were how God meant for us to live, we would fear everything. Because the truth is, we control nothing except our ability to choose. God did not create us to live in fear. Our fear is contrary to His Word. First John 4:18 (NKJV) states that “perfect love casts out fear”—all fear—and guess who “perfect love” is? God Himself."

As Kim states we can control nothing in this world except our ability to choose. Choose God! Choose Jesus!

Morality is a funny thing. What one person sees as moral another sees as immoral. Of course, mankind is not to be the judge of what's moral. Only God and through His Word in the Bible can one find true definition for morality. People try to make laws as to what they think is moral, but God is the only judge. Jesus is the only true example of what is moral. Follow Him; read the bible. Then through teaching can we come closer to God's idea of moral.

Many so called ministers of the faith have forsaken what the Bible says for an easy interpretation. I have heard of several ministers that are teaching that the real miracle of feeding the 5000 in the Bible is that people were sharing their food with others who had none. The Bible clearly states that Jesus took the bread and fishes and gave thanks, then fed the people. Anything less takes away from the deity of Christ. If the Lord can create everything in the universe, why could He not multiply this food? I question if many ministers of the "faith" even believe in God! God IS great and has power over all.
