Far too often, the church in America is only like a visitor center. It’s safe, it’s warm, and it’s comfortable. But we’re missing the power of Jesus, the presence of Jesus, and the excitement of following Jesus because we’re playing it safe! The American “trinity” is comfort, pleasure, and success. And one of our biggest idols is safety. Consequently, we don’t want to talk about or face our fears. Preachers often ask, “If you died tonight, do you know where you’re going?” I think Jesus would ask a different question: “What if you don’t die tonight—how are you going to live tomorrow?” In Fear Must Not Win, Pastor Mark Filkey does a brilliant job of addressing these issues, helping believers to escape the prison of fear and walk in their God-given victory. Read this book and let Pastor Mark help you beat—defeat—the scared inside you!
