Sharing is Caring

The fear of the Lord  "'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge'(Prov.1:7).   In fact, the book of Proverbs not only begins with this assertion, it ends with the balancing conclusion, 'A woman who fears the Lord is to be praised'(31:30).   In other words, the fear of the Lord is the beginning and end of wisdom for all people, men and women, wise and simple, young and old alike."   [Iain M. Duguid, "Jesus in the Old Testament"]

The Fear of the Lord    "The fear of the Lord is knowing that I live coram deo,  before the face of God.   It is knowing that the Holy God sees every aspect of my life.   The result is that we live knowing that we are seen.   We live publicly, and follow Christ in joyful and reverential obedience."   (Edward T. Welch, "ADDICTIONS - A Banquet in the Grave")
