Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and good understanding for those who keeps it.

Today we see all kind of christian kind of programs and different happening which don't represent the holiness of God, or teach the noble way of the followers of the Lord. Instead we see some kind o shameless show of money, and incontinence, with no understanding of dignity or knowledge of the Holy.

So many seems to fall on this pit.

Lack of fear and realizing we are the loving Lord's adored children
is the beginning of wisdom to me.
To each his own, tho...not here to argue...but, to present a different take.
Continue talking amongst yourselves....

"Those who revere the Lord walk uprightly."

In other words, those who fear the Lord walk in truth.

Or those who worship the Lord act righteously.

Or, "genuine worshipers worship the Father in spirit and in truth."

true!... I've seen so many tv ministers asking their followers to order things like the "prayer cloth", or "blessed water in a bottle". also MANY people believe their "ministers should be paid to preach"
these ministers are sent by satan ,(2Cor.11:13-15), NOT Jehovah God or Jesus.

what gives us the right to believe we are better than Jesus? he didn't charge for his Father's words ,(1Pet. 5:1,2 also (Matt. 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give). and he didn't teach his true followers to do so either.

MANY ministers, as well as their followers, straddle the fence when it comes to the ways of satan's world. we shouldn't do as the rest of the world does, (1John 2:16 , John 17:16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world). Jesus set a fine example for his people to follow. we better find that road which leads to life.

Does god really need to be reminded of holiness? Is god that insecure that she requires mortals to FEAR the very idea of god?

Those who demand others kowtow to their expectations are generally referred to as bullies..

I prefer to live in a NO BULLY ZONE...

They that LOVE GOD, will share that LOVE with others..

The beginning of wisdom is recognizing a lie.

He loves a good challenge, especially in the midst of duality.
Remember, it's the wolf we feed that consumes us the most.

Unfortunately you cannot see what I posted. If you did you would see it is not about fear but about loving God as he prefers.
