“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom,
I’m sure we have all read this verse in Proverbs at some time or the other and thought we were cool with it but have you ever given it more than a passing glance?? Are you really in “fear” of the Lord?? Just what does that mean?? I’ve heard a lot of teaching over the years that tried to put a nice spin on this verse but I never really bought into it. From my growing up in another time, I know what fear of those in authority means!! The main thing that comes to mind is that disobeying their orders or directions came with consequences. In my day those were carried out without much discussion. Should they be something you didn’t enjoy and wanted to avoid the next time they gave them to you they were carried out!!
Could it be that we have heard so much teaching on this that we no longer fear the Lord and what His consequences could be?? Have we been told so many times that once you say those magic words you can go about living your life in any manner you please and there are no consequences?? Do we thing that belonging to some club we call church will get us to eternal life with the Father and how we live our lives down here really doesn’t matter?? Could it be time for us to spend time in the red words of the gospels to see just what it was Jesus was saying to us rather than listening to what some man says about it? I’ve said in the past that just because someone has been to a school that tells him he is qualified to preach the gospel doesn’t mean it’s true. Most of those schools only teach what their club has handed down over the years!!
I keep repeating the same song over and over but it’s what the Holy Spirit is trying to say in today’s world!! It’s time you got together with the Holy Spirit and allow him to lead you into all truth!! There are those out there that are going thru this step as we speak. You may have to search a little to find them. If you think you are way to busy to do that there may be no help for you!! If you are to busy or think it not necessary, we will be praying that the Holy Spirit breaks thru before it’s too late. Don’t base your salvation on some magic words that you repeated after some emotional sermon base it on a personal relationship with Christ thru the Holy Spirit!!

I ma your brother in Christ,
