Let all the earth; I mean all the folks that work, that play, that breathe air on.. or dwell on, or witness on this planet.. just fear the Lord! That pretty much should include everyone.
Like you.. I'm really feelin' for, moved inside!!.. and praying for all those parents in Paris today who are struggling to grasp what just happened to their kids who were simply out having fun for the evening with their friends. So senseless!
Makes me wanna ask myself.. Who would be out there hurting or terrorizing innocent people if they actually walked in the holy fear of the Lord? None! Who in Paris or anywhere for that matter.. would be out sinning anywhere if they knew how destructive sin is.. if they simply feared the God of the Bible and His living word?
None would. How important is this type of respect and awe? Way important--it's imperative for every Christian to have! Let's witness and win lost people to Jesus, because they won't reform themselves, we can't, and they can't have this type of reverence.. for sanctification's sake apart from Jesus Christ.
