Fearful

Dear Judy,


So many changes in our world. Things I could not have imagined. I love the Lord, but when I hear all the dark stuff in the news, it scares me. How do I keep from that happening!

Dear Fearful,


The greatest thing we always need to remember is what Jesus did on the cross for all humanity! He came from heaven to earth and went through a horrible death as He paid the price for all our sins; then He rose again and is alive and well, sitting at the right hand of the Father interceding for us! That is the good news! Those who believe this are saved and have eternal life. This means that once we complete our earthly journey, we shall live with Him forever! What could be better than that?


And God does not want us to keep this wonderful truth to ourselves. We should want others to know Him also. (Do you?) We are now ambassadors for Christ and reconcilers for Christ, according to 2 Corinthians 5:17-21, 6:1. Wow, what a job. When we remember this, we will know our Lord is with us and will help us to finish what we are purposed to do.


I will both lie down in peace, and sleep; For You alone, O LORD, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8


Yes, we should know what is going on in the world and our hometowns, but we have to monitor how much we allow in our life. No matter how dark or terrible things look, our Lord tells us to read His Word to know truth! We are called the light of the world, and light always dispels darkness! So if you are getting fearful, shut off the TV and read your Bible more to allow His promises to penetrate your life.


But You, O LORD, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! Palm 22:19

I go to church, and I also listen to services online. It seems to me there is a trend toward thinking that hell is not real. Is this true? Is there a real hell?

Questiong One

By Dr. Judy Baus • October 6, 2025
That is a question often asked by new believers. The Bible is very clear about this. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16

We need to rise in gratefulness and thanksgiving to our Lord and Savior. We need to praise Him more than we ever have. Like no other time has it been more important that we be in our manual for success, the Bible. We need to know for a fact that if we should die today, we are going to heaven.

So many horrible things are happening in our world today—children and adults gunned down in the middle of prayer, lives being destroyed by wars, famines, floods, fires, absolute madness– and if we allow ourselves to focus totally on these things, fear can totally take over and then we will become victims instead of a v
