4 Keys to Cultivating the Fear of the Lord

The fear of the Lord is learned and the Holy Spirit is the teacher

2. The Holy Spirit will use both the written and the whispered Word of God to develop the fear of the Lord

3. The fear of the Lord required the Word of God -- both written and whispered -- to have first priority

4. The fear of the Lord required the Word of God to be both accepted and activated in our lives.

Topics for discussion:1. Are you currently living in the Fear of the Lord? 2. Is the Holy Spirit dealing with you about things that have stolen time, attention, and affection away from God?
