are filling up the sky with each passing minute. i don't like the look of it at all. it's scary. :(
but after reading one of the bible lessons yesterday, i will learn to fear only one thing. that is, the fear of the Lord.
"Fear of the Lord means piety. It is used to express our religious duty toward God. Fear is the thing that God requires from each one of us. It is a purpose of creation."
Things that we are NOT to fear
- Idols or other Gods
- Man
- Earthly calamities for they signify the near return of our Saviour
The fear of the Lord is NECESSARY
Worship
Service
Keep us from sin
Good government
Administration of justice
Perfecting of holiness in our Christian lives
So we preach Christ to everyone. With all possible wisdom we warn and teach them in order to bring each one into God's presence as a mature individual in union with Christ. To get this done I toil and struggle, using the Almighty strength which Christ suppiles and which is at work in me. - Colossians 1 :28-29
