“A lot of us today would do well to hear again what the aged Paul, sitting on death row in a Roman dungeon, wrote to the young Timothy: ‘God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline’ (2 Tim 1:7). We must never be intimidated by what the devil tries to do, whether by striking out at us as individuals, or at the local church, or at the Body of Christ as a whole. We must instead trust the Holy Spirit to give us the words to speak, and to do so with boldness.” (Cymbala)
