Last Sunday's sermon on Acts 5:22-32, regarding the Apostles' boldness to proclaim Christ in the face of opposition, reminded me of how often our actions are driven by our fear of man rather than our fear of God.Ed Welch's book, "When People are Big and God is Small", deals in a thorough and soul-searching way with this issue of our motives, and especially with the problem (idol) of the fear of man. Though at times it is uncomfortable in its application, both Sharon and I read it and benefitted from it. Take up and read!
