Don’t fear the coward

May 4, 2026 | 8 comments

Have you ever felt intimidated by some form of evil coming at you, perhaps another’s anger, a depressing medical diagnosis, or anxiety coming out of nowhere?  

Whatever form evil may take, have no fear of it.  Don’t run and flee from it as if it has power over you.  It does not.  The Almighty Truth of God gives you power over it, to knock it out and render it harmless. 

With God backing you up, you can face evil fearlessly and send it fleeing.

Mary Baker Eddy writes, “Error is a coward before Truth” (Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, p. 368).

Error doesn’t intimidate Truth.  Truth intimidates error.  Error is the coward that runs and flees in the face of Truth for error cannot stand in the presence of Truth and maintain face.  Truth is its doom.  

God is all-powerful good present to neutralize any claim of evil and zap it of credibility.

Have no fear of error.  See it as the weak one and send it fleeing with Truth.

  2. These words feel very powerful to me Evan , especially in regards to several situations going on at the moment.

  3. Wonderful article – thank you Evan
    And the post is so helpful . Eddy says “ resist evil – error of every sort – and it will flee from you “
    This is the challenge – SV really helps to ‘ nerve endeavour ‘ – I am , like others , so grateful
