Do you feel secure where you are at?
Do you find comfort with brethren?
We all struggle for security.   

Material security is disappearing as people trust one another less and less.
Most people used to keep their doors unlocked.
People today worry about family and jobs.

Most important:
           • Our feelings with God.
           • Where we stand with Him.
