‘Don’t be afraid’: General Brian Peddle presents 2019 Easter message
INTERNATIONAL leader of The Salvation Army, General Brian Peddle, uses his 2019 Easter message to reflect on numerous biblical imperatives to ‘not be afraid’. At a time when world events include natural disasters which cause understandable trepidation and terrorist attacks which are intended to engender fear, the General’s message observes that ‘often that fear is accompanied by anxiety’, yet Scripture is ‘inviting us to move from a place of fear to a position where we implicitly trust … God who never fails’.
