In today’s society, it is easy to allow our fears to consume our thoughts. However, when we do this our fears can keep us from achieving God’s will for our lives. As Christians, we are instead instructed to put on the armor of God and “take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” to combat our fears. (Ephesians 6: 17) Here you will find ten Bible verses to help combat fear and begin living in freedom. This post may include affiliate links.

Congratulations, my dear friend! You have made one of the best decisions of your life ! I remember my own story of coming to Christ.

His words were in response to Beth Moore, an evangelist, author, Bible teacher, and founder of Living Proof Ministries.

Shame on Beth (and for all women, for that matter) for furthering the Kingdom, right? Wrong. So the question remains: Does God use women to further His kingdom? I am ..read more
