"The sole purpose of this proposed legislation is to provide a safe environment for the church, its members, students and guests."
"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more."
"But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
“Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and upset; do not be afraid.”
“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”
“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life—of whom shall I be afraid?”
“I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.”
" For he will order his angels to protect you wherever you go".
I don't understand this need for man to provide for us a safe environment when God tells us not to worry about such things. O we of little faith.
