Fear Not 365 – The Lord is our Light…

March 9, 2017 by ChristianHolinessDaily Leave a Comment


A particular reality TV show claims to pick up contestants in the dark of night, blindfold them, and leave them in the middle of nowhere to find their way back to civilization. If real, it might be a fun challenge to watch. 

Finding oneself alone, in the dark, with no idea as to your location, though, must be terrifying. A couple times during chemotherapy, I became confused while driving alone. It’s called “Chemobrain.” For a few minutes, that was frightening. 

Many people travel through life in the dark. They are alone. They have no idea where they are at, not really. They are confused about their destination. They may not admit it, even to themselves, but they are terrified. They are lost. 

Those who truly surrender to God and follow daily in His footsteps do not live in darkness. They live free, in the light and love of the Loving Heavenly Father. They know their destination; they see it clearly. They know where they’ve been. They are never alone. Never confused. Never terrified. They are in the Light. 

Fear Not, the Lord is our Light…

Fear Not 365 – God Will Come With a Vengeance

January 23, 2017 by ChristianHolinessDaily Leave a Comment


Christians are persecuted daily by Muslims the world over. In many places they are not allowed to display crosses, construct churches, or pray in public. Elsewhere, they are taxed, jailed, or tortured and killed. 

Just days ago, Hindus in India doused a Christian pastor and his wife with gasoline and threatened to burn them alive. They also destroyed their church. 

Attacks against Christians have grown astronomically. The Anglican Church, for example, announced (Easter, 2015) that Christians in nearly half of its 38 provinces were suffering persecution. It is thought that nearly 200 million Christians in over 60 countries face some sort of restrictions (Guardian News and Media Limited, the guardian.com 27 July, 2015).

Though few may consider them persecution, Muslim terror attacks in the U.S. are nothing less than attacks on Christianity and the stalwart nation that both defined and defended Christianity for 200 years. 

Yes, Christians the world over are afraid. We know, however, that Christ wins in the end. We know there is a special place in hell for those who persecute Christians and a special place by the side of Christ for those who were beheaded for His name’s sake (Revelation chapter 20). 

Over 2700 years ago, Isaiah delivered a promise to the nation of Israel that can and should be applied by 21st century Christians. Isaiah delivered it, but the promise is from God:

Say to those who are fearful-hearted,

“Be strong, do not fear!

Behold, your God will come with vengeance,

With the recompense of God;

He will come and save you.”

– Isaiah 35:4

Fear Not, for God will come with a vengeance.
