Carousel by John Bevere
John Bevere@johnbevere Loving God and fearing God are not the same thing. We can sing about our love for Him, know His Word, and be surrounded by His presence, yet still allow compromise into the areas of our lives no one else sees. The fear of the Lord changes that. It causes us to care more about His heart than our reputation, comfort, or desires. Holy fear doesn't drive us away from God. It draws us into a life of reverence, obedience, and deeper intimacy with Him. The love of God draws us to Him, and the fear of God keeps us from the evil that seeks to destroy us. This is the message at the heart of The Awe of God. Comment “AOG” and I'll send you the link.

@abunahla9 we love you, Sir. intnding nthing bt good. bt how cn we cnsidr being unjst to one anothr as a sin, while to God as evn obdience? we're willing to rpent from th earthly sins, bt as if sch a grave heavnly sin abt God is evn unrealizd, unrcognizd, unadmitted. thn how cn we rpent from th sin not cnsiderd as a sin? how cn we clean ourslvs from smthng to clean, whn it's evn cnsdred as holiness. we feel guilty for being unfair abt one anthr, but feel innocnt abt Him? Jesus frbade idoltry, yet he is instd tken as an idol wrshippd, bside th One God; an advnced form of idolatry. a grave sin of blasphmy, a great work of iniquity, cnsidred as piety. we dsire healing from th rlative earthly illnesses, wtht cnsiderng tht estmating God not His rightful estmate, thinkng tht He is similar n equal to His own needy slave, is of grave illnesses. we care more abt th rlative earthly issues, of peace n happinss, calmnss n gracefulnss, prformnce n elegnce, mrality, mturity, dgnity, wealth, health, succss, etc. strugglng to achieve their fulfillmnt, while nglecting th basic principal one, cncrning th rights of th One God. we easily give n accept, th advice cncrning those earthly changes n improvemnts, whch r howvr rlative, bt rfuse to chnge, evn cncrning th more fundmntal mattr, abt God's rightful estmate. whn a tree is planted not on its rightful ground, thn what's th meaning of its complete growth n fruits? growing prfctly, givng fruits abundntly, bt standng on th frbiddn ground. whn God is not pleasd wth th tree, thn what's th point of havng wndrful fruits? whn estmating God itslf is incorrct, accusing Him as weak, dpendnt, n evn dead, thn whch change, growth n fruits dsrve His countnnce? not a flawlss parable, bt may it hit th snse. sayng this not out of enmity, Sir. instd, out of care for you. we're no bettr than you. bt seems like we've bn givn a prspctve whch may dsrve your cnsdration. howvr, only God cn guide us to accpting th truth, thrgh whtvr cause He wills. evn Jesus cn guide no one, excpt wth God. no lmtations cn prvent any mrcy He hs intendd. n no great cpcity n quality cn help at all, unlss He wills it. may He guide us. wishng you nthng bt good.
