His example eased my fears, and I was able to share with my classes from that point forward that I was a follower of Christ.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>A Multi-Faith Forum<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The next time I had fears about sharing my faith was when student groups organized a multi-faith forum and I was asked to be the panelist representing evangelical Christianity. Knowing that I was just part of a panel that included representatives of Catholicism, Orthodoxy, Islam, Buddhism, and Hinduism made it easier, but I was nervous and it didn\u2019t go as I hoped.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was only asked how God\u2019s command in Deuteronomy 20 for Israel to kill all the Canaanites was consistent with \u201cGod is love.\u201d It did, however, alleviate my fears the next time the forum took place. The next time, I persuaded the student organizers to let each panelist give a 2-3 minute summary of the key concepts of their faith. That really helped because I was able to explain the gospel in the context of God\u2019s holiness, as well as his love.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>Asked to Give My Testimony<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">The last time I was afraid about sharing my faith was when a few faculty and I were asked to speak about our faith during Holy Week. I was the speaker for Monday for this \u201cFaculty Who Believe\u201d event and was asked to give my testimony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">I was the sole speaker for Monday and was worried that there might be hecklers. I prayed that I\u2019d be gracious in that circumstance, but there was no need. The audience of about 50 was supportive. I even discovered that a few faculty I knew from other departments were also believers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>Only When I Had to Plan<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is ironic that on the few occasions that I really did face hostility and mild persecution for being open about my faith \u2013 and was called to explain myself to the dean \u2013 I did not have any fear. I knew that I had acted with integrity, and nothing ever came of those accusations. It was only when I had to plan to take steps of faith that I had any fear.<\/p>\n<blockquote style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have known 1 John 4:18 for almost my entire life \u2013 \u201cThere is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear.\u201d&nbsp;<\/blockquote><p style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, I had only thought of that in terms of fearing God\u2019s judgment due to the immediate context: v.17- \u201cBy this is love perfected with us, so that we may have confidence for the day of judgment\u2026\u201d and v.18b- \u201cFor fear has to do with punishment\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: center\"><strong>Fear of Man<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">What I failed to understand on those occasions is that both fearing and loving God, and having a deep sense of how great God\u2019s love is, also takes away any fear of man.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trusting and resting in how great and perfect God\u2019s love is does not just cast out the fear of punishment on the day of judgment, it can take away fear. Even the fear of being one of Christ\u2019s ambassadors on a secular university campus.<\/p><p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4d0a2bf elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4d0a2bf\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bc586bc\" data-id=\"bc586bc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-931b851 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"931b851\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/campus.cru.org\/faculty\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/652\/2024\/03\/unnamed.jpg?w=400\" title=\"O31115 Tim Cameron\" alt=\"O31115 Tim Cameron\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6b2a834\" data-id=\"6b2a834\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fa494e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1fa494e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4><strong>Tim Cameron<\/strong><\/h4><p>Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering<\/p><p>Miami University<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a young mechanical engineering professor in the 1990s, I was blessed to have senior colleagues who were strong believers.
