Be Not Afraid

By Archbishop of York

The church has always fought against odds, and what appeared to be her rashness has been her strength. The battle must not go by default. God is with us; our message is his. If we believe this we shall be bold, and our lips shall be touched with holy fire. The task of St. Paul at Corinth was a hopeless task to the heathen observer. All worldly science, wealth, civilization, luxury, and refinement were arrayed against his preaching; but one thing that observer could not know—the Lord had spoken to him in his heart, “Be not afraid, but speak and hold not thy peace. . . . I have much people in this city.” With the same voice he calls to all, “Be not afraid, but speak.”—Archbishop of York.
