The Fear Of The Lord Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 12, 2022

Fear doesn’t mean cowering in the corner like God is some North Vietnamese dictator and you are a prisoner of war. Fearing the Lord means taking God seriously and not casually.

Too many people take God casually. Too few people take God seriously in our day. Too many people’s passion for Christ is like the helium balloons from my son’s graduation party. A few balloons had slipped up to the second floor of our home, some twenty feet up in the air. If you wonder how they ...read more

He Is The Lord

Contributed by Dr. Jerry N. Watts on May 2, 2007

Gleaned from John Ortberg’s Book - "If you want to walk on the water, you have to get out of the boat". This teaches us that we must understand exactly "who" the Lord is.

The Lord Is Good

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Jan 6, 2019

It may seem counter-intuitive to consider this verse at a funeral when death is clearly on our minds. How can we say that the ...read more
