Charles Stanley - A Time for Courage

Fear is a hindrance. It creates anxiety in our heart, it divides our mind, it drains our energy and it hinders whatever we’re doing in life. We learn how to conquer this damaging emotion and live with the confidence only found in God.

Since we live in an unstable world filled with uncertainty, there are many reasons to become anxious and fearful. And for those who don’t know Christ as Savior, their fears are justified because they have no assurance in this life or after death. But believers don’t have to live in continual fear because Christ lives within them and has overcome the world.

Courage isn’t the absence of fear but a response to it. It can be simply defined as that attitude of mind and heart that enables us to face danger, obstacles, and the challenges of life fearlessly, firmly, and calmly.
