This blog is based on references in the Bible to fear. God wills that we “BE NOT AFRAID”. Many theologians state that the eighth deadly sin is fear. It is fear and its natural animal reaction to fight or flight that is the root cause of our failings to create a Kingdom of God on earth. By “the power of the Holy Spirit” we can be witnesses and “communicators” of a new and redeemed humanity “even to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:7 8). This blog is dedicated to Mary the Mother of God.

Matthew, Chapter 14, verse 5

5Although he wanted to kill him, he feared the people, for they regarded him as a prophet.

This verse talks about Herod as he wanted to kill John the Baptist. Herod’s main problem was he could not control his emotions. When he wanted his brother’s wife He took her. When he wanted Salome to dance He bribed her. Lastly his fear gave into pride the pride of looking like a fool and he forgot his fear of the people and killed John.
