We are born innocent, but we are not born free.
To overthrow the tyrant Fear, one needs a battle plan. No great military leader would ever come up with a single plan for use in every circumstance. He would start with a plan of attack and then adjust the strategy as conditions change.
The essential experience of Christianity is a revolution of the heart. It has nothing to do with conformity to a doctrine or religious program. It may make sense to start with such a plan, but it is suicidal to stick with it when the battle turns and fear gets the upper-hand.
The war can only be won by studying the enemy and adjusting our battle plans accordingly. We must be very careful, observant, and alert. We must learn to keep our fear at sword point until the tyrant finally surrenders.
