Questions In Genesis (Answers In The Gospels)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 31, 2024

Fear Frustration Faith

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Aug 28, 2019

Fear. Frustration. Faith. We all have them and each is related. While faith can be the solution to fear and frustration, it can also be the source of fear and frustration. How can faith be both the solution and the source? That’s what the account of Abraham leads us to consider.

What are you afraid of? What is it that frustrates you? Maybe your fears come from the “what ifs” in life, what if this happens or that happens. Maybe they are the fears of what other people think of you or the fear of failure. Maybe it’s the fear of things from the past, things that you can’t ...read more
