Our Great God by Jayan

My Sunday school class is doing a series on the book of Exodus. As we follow the story of the life of Moses, I’m continually struck by the ways in which God showed Himself to be supreme over other gods, specifically the gods of the Egyptians. We serve a truly powerful God. As John 1:3 says,
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Fear of Man: Introduction by Jayan

In my walk with God recently, I have been exploring the topic of Fear of Man (which I abbreviate as “FOM”). This sin pattern has and does beset my life. So, I’d like to share with you my thoughts as I explore and fight it.

What It Is

Some of you are familiar with the concept of FOM, but it is nonetheless a slippery sin, requiring a good definition. Unfortunately I do not have a perfect definition of it. Until I understand ….
