AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Peter 1:17 ¶ If you address as Father, the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in [reverent] fear [of Him] and with profound respect for Him throughout the time of your stay on earth. |
Subject: Fear God! |
Bible Note: Hank You hit the nail on the head. If every pastor preached an expository message this would even happen. However most preach the more popular topical message taking a verse from here and one from there to make their point. Notice my phrasing "their" point. If ministers of the Word would get back to expository preaching, expounding the word of God instead of making their own sermons there wouldn't be a balance problem nor would there be a concern about fearing God.
