Don't Be Afraid
John 6:50 Acts 18:9
By: Luther M. Cain
Ifyou are troubled by fear let me
help you. To start, let me assure you
that fears can be removed. Fear can
destroy you. It can make you feel mis-
erable. A number of years ago, one of
our late Presidents said, "The only
thing we, as a nation, have to fear is
fear itself." How true this statement is.
When you realize that fear - any
fear- can be removed, then comes the
task of removing it. This requires self-
discipline. This is not easy; nor is it
very popular. But you can do it.
It is not shameful to say, I have been
afraid. Three or four times in my per-
sonal life I have experienced fear. Yes,
I know what it is to be afraid. But,
thanks be to God, I have overcome it.
Overcoming fear brings strength• Face
it. Don't run from it. In/'act, you can
outrun it.
Fear causes one to worry, and wor-
ry is the product of the mind. And it
can be controlled. God loves you. And
because He loves you He cares about
you. Let God take care of your fears.
Faith in God will cancel out your fears.
Have you ever sat down and count-
ed your blessings? Why don't you try
it? Try it and your fears will fly away.
Think positive.
The 23rd Psalm tells us, "I will fear
no evil, for Thou art with me." God has
tried to fix things for us so that we need
have no tear. Fear comes only to those
who do not have complete faith in
God. The world is full of people who
are miserable because of fear.
Fear is often deep-rooted from one's
childhood. Perhaps some experience
that you have forgotten made a deep
impression upon you. As a result you
have fear.
Wouldn't you like to rid yourself of
this fear? Ask God to help you. It is
essential that one must seek and get
God's forgiveness. He must then for-
give himself.
Too often we are plagued by the
fear of failure. No one wins every time.
Wise indeed is the person who learns
to profit by his mistakes and failures.
Now, let's think for a moment about
how we can bring an end to being
afraid. One must admit that it is possi-
ble to be afraid. One of the sure facts of
life is tht there will be problems. Why
not face them. We are heirs to trouble.
The Bible gives help to those in
troubl. "Be of good cheer; I have over-
come any problem. Don't let any prob-
lem get you down. Trust in the Lord.
Don't give up. Ask yourself what is the
right thing to do. Then ask God to
show you the right thing to do. Pray.
Pray. Pray.

well-trained fire departments in our county.
We appreciate the volunteers, family and friends for help-

Thanks to those who brought food and drinks for the
firefighters and volunteers while they worked.
The Walker Co., Roy Byrd, Salt Lick Church of God and
other area churches have been a tremendous help to us.
We especially thank Jean Ratliff for giving us a wonderful
place to stay.
We cannot mention everything and everyone because space
will not allow it. The outpouring of gifts and help has been
overwhelming. Just know that whatever you did was very
much appreciated.
May God richly bless you for all you have done.

Fletcher speaks
out on Patton's
tax proposal
Congressman Ernie Fletcher re-
leased the following statement re-
garding the Patton Administration's
plan for a tax increase on business,
family farmer, low income citizens,
and daily activities.
"Once again, it's not that we tax
too little, it's that we spend too much.
The budget crisis facing Itucky
must be solved where it wascreated,
in Frankfort, not on4the Imeks of
hardworking Kentuckians. We need
fiscal discipline that reduces waste,
while ending the political patronage
that has fed offour tax dollars for far
too many years. It's time to cut polit-
• ical paybacks, not raise taxes, and I
believe this can be accomplished,
while maintaining strong support for
education, healthcare, public safety,
and other vital services."
