What pastors are saying
“No courage, no miracle was needed. No courage, no need for Jesus to save him. No courage, no opportunity to learn from experience. No courage, no further development of his character. No courage, no story to tell.”
“Fear says, what if you fail? Courage says, what if God comes through for me this time? Fear says, look how big I am as a giant. Courage says, look how big your God is.”
“God protects Paul through his nephew's courage. It's not God warning Paul in a dream that this assassination plot is coming.”
“Courage is not about ignoring fear or pretending that everything is fine. It's about choosing to trust God in those moments, to know that He is going to be with you no matter where you go.”
“We need courage to cross a barrier and tenderness to care for the person we meet there.”
