Throughout more than 50 years of ministry, the Lord has opened some unusual doors of utterance to me in some pretty unusual places. I can truthfully say that walking with the Lord has been a nonstop adventure!

We start again with II Timothy 1:7, amplified from the Greek text: "For God has not endowed, or committed to our being and existence the spirit (the very breath and speaking forth) of fear, timidity and faithlessness; but of miraculous power, might and strength, and of agape love, and of a disciplined mind (under control and not subject to "flights of fancy")." (RAC Translation and Amplification)

We have a lot of ground to cover today, so without any preliminaries, let's get underway again today with the verse from II Timothy 1:7, amplified from the Greek text: "For God has not endowed, or committed to our being and existence the spirit (the very breath and speaking forth) of fear, timidity and faithlessness; but of miraculous power, might and strength, and of agape love, and of a disciplined mind (under control and not subject to "flights of fancy")." (RAC Translation and Amplification)

Today's Coffee Break is a departure from our new series on Dealing with Fear. Because we celebrate Independence Day as a nation, I just felt to make some comments and observations and requests to all of you on this 4th of July. We will return to our series on fear next week.
