It's not
unusual for someone to call me with a story idea for the newspaper. However, more often
than not, the caller wants a situation exposed, but they don't want to be the
source for the story. In essence they want to protect themselves and remain anonymous
for fear of their friends, the community, their clients, or retaliation. There
are similar accounts in the Bible where
people did not want to be the source — for fear of the Jews, for fear of the
people, for fear of being put out of the Synagogue, etc. The writer of Hebrews
reminds us, “Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with
what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I
forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper;
I will not be afraid. What can man do to me” (Heb 13:5-6 NIV)?
