Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In "Worry," Steve Gregg highlights the Bible's command for Christians to avoid worry and love for material possessions while acknowledging the temptations that cause people to worry. He asserts that worrying is a sin that can be eliminated by placing trust in God's promises and focusing on His kingdom rather than the material world. Gregg notes that guilt and unaddressed sins can be root causes of worry and the solution to worry is to cast it upon Jesus, who cares for us.
