II Timothy 1:6-12
God does not want you to be in bondage to fear. You see, Paul says I have problems too. I am in prison. I am going through difficulty too. All of us face the problem of fear.

Someone said the seven last words of the church are – "we never did it that way before"! But thank God we are not like that in this church; we want to try anything we can as long as it reaches people for Jesus. It doesn't matter whether we did it before or not.

And then there is pathophobia, that is the fear of catching a disease. These are people who are always washing their hands, always trying to avoid people who are ill because they are afraid of catching the germs.
Then there is anthrophobia it comes from "anthropos", ...
