by Scott Hamilton on Thursday, 21st February 2013
We are more concerned about looking stupid (a fear of people) than we are about acting sinfully (fear of the Lord). Edward T. Welch
To fear God means that my life is structured by a sense of awe, worship, and obedience that flows out of recognizing Him and His glory. He becomes the single most important reference point for all that I desire, think, do, and say. God is my motive and God is my goal. The fear of God is meant to be the central organizing force in my life. Paul David Tripp
The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears… This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness. Sinclair B. Ferguson
We fear men so much, because we fear God so little. One fear cures another. When man’s terror scares you, turn your thoughts to the wrath of God. William Gurnall
Fear that does not take you to God, will take you away from God. Author Unknown
