The Gospel in Africa

| 2 Comments
While reading an editorial about Christianity in Africa written by an atheist from Africa, I noticed this and it reminded me of one of the most powerful, anti-superstition verses in the Bible:

Anxiety - fear of evil spirits, of ancestors, of nature and the wild, of a tribal hierarchy, of quite everyday things - strikes deep into the whole structure of rural African thought.

"Be still and know that I am God."

and from the New Testament:

"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell."
