+'''"The Twisted Scriptures"''' by C W Ketcherside - This is a really tough read, but it's short.  One example from it is the Amos scripture that talks about "Can two walk together except they be agreed?"  This is often taken out of context to mean people who disagree doctrinally should not associate with each other.  In the cultural context, the sentence was speaking of the necessity of making an appointment to meet someone (agree to meet up at a certain time) if you were going to journey together. It's part of a poetic list of questions to which the answer is always no, ending with "Does disaster come to a city unless the Lord has done it?"

			=If you are afraid=

			Please realize that fear is not from God.

			:''The opposite of love is not hate... but fear. It says in 1 John 4:18, “… perfect love casts out fear.” Maybe you thought the opposite of love is hate. Not biblically. The opposite of love is fear, because love is self-opening. Love is service. Whenever you serve somebody you make yourself vulnerable.
			:''Here is a [quote of C.S. Lewis]... “Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one … Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in the casket—safe, dark, motionless, airless—it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. The alternative to tragedy, or at least to the risk of tragedy, is damnation. The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and perturbations of love is Hell.” The opposite of love is not hate but fear.<ref>Timothy J. Keller, The Timothy Keller Sermon Archive (New York City: Redeemer Presbyterian Church, 2013)</ref>

			If you are afraid, just stop. Take a deep breath, close your eyes and pray. Ask God to lead you and to direct you into truth.

			Jesus said:

			:''...ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For all those who ask will receive, and those who seek will find, and the door will be opened to anyone who knocks.

			:''Would any of you who are fathers give your son a snake when he asks for fish? Or would you give him a scorpion when he asks for an egg? 13Bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will the Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!”<ref>Luke 11:9–13 (GNB)</ref>

			So ask God for wisdom, guidance and direction. He won't lead you astray.
