"The first time fear erupted in the mind of man was in the wake of sin. In Hebrew, the word sin is defined as a violation against God, to fail or to miss the mark, which causes separation from Him. Without the knowledge of sin, humanity would not recognize the reason we are separated from God. There are all kinds of emotions and problems that come from sin that bring us to
its consequences. Being afraid and the power of fear is one of those deep consequences. We see that powerfully illustrated here as the human mind experienced fear for the very first time. And it was terrible fear as man (the created) was afraid of God (the Creator), someone more powerful than all things. This is not the will of God. We were never created to be afraid of God.
But sin, doing its work in our minds, accomplishes fear and is a powerful motivator. Jesus Christ came into this world to break that curse and cast out the effects of sin in our lives.
We are a family-run international ministry with television, print and online programs designed to guide you through the Bible in one year.
From social issues and apologetics to theology, history and science, our mission is to educate, edify and encourage the believer to actively engage with God’s Word in all ways."
