Fear should not be an option
In Nonprofit Groups Must Avoid Fear During Recession, an experienced NPO development consultant writes:
"Sadly, the economic and financial crisis will continue to dominate the minds of non-profit boards and executives," Mr. Craver writes. "'Sadly' because fear masks opportunity. The opportunity that comes from being aggressive when others are pulling back. The opportunity that comes from experimentation when times are tough."
Paul - way before Mr. Craver - says it like this:
"For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment."
Pastor, which response will you choose: fear or faith?
