1 | What does Fear God really mean? | Acts 13:16 | Hank | 35384 | ||
bgg, no correction on your post from me; you did an excellent job of explaning by definition and by scriptural reference what is encompossed by the phrase 'fear of the Lord.' Perhaps an additional couple of words could be added to your list. I'm thinking of the words 'wonder' and 'adoration' as being somewhat in line with the meaning of the term. What strikes me as troubling in our time is that we don't see as much fear of the Lord as we ought to. One has but to read some of the sermons of the old master preachers of the past and compare them with much of the watered-down cotton-candy that is being passed off as sermons today to see that we are in trouble in the fear-of-the-Lord department, even among believers. Among the secular humanists, God is not merely contemplated without any sense of awe and wonder; He has been all but obliterated from their conscience. Some time ago a friend told me of visiting a "contemporary" style of worship service at a community church. Someone there led a prayer and began it with, "Jesus, old buddy, we want to visit with you today and ask you to bless us." For some reason, I like the one better that begins, "Our Father Who art in heaven, hallowed by Thy name." .... Please allow me to end this note by extending to you a very warm welcome to this forum and a sincere wish that you will find it a medium in which you will be able both to receive spiritual nourishment for yourself and, in sharing your gifts, be able to nourish others, all to the glory of God and His Christ. --Hank | ||||||
