Re: Landover Baptist Church announces "Mission to Australia"
Just fixed a couple of things there. Much better.
Yes, we are a God-fearing congregation.
Leviticus 25:17 Ye shall not therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God:for I am the LORD your God.
Deuteronomy 10:20 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God; him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.
(Deuteronomy is filled with similar quotes, I could go on with them for a while.)
1 Samuel 12:14 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God:
Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
I really can go on, but it's commanded we fear God, and why shouldn't we? Our eternal souls are in His hands. But we love Him too. Don't forget that. And it's not a fear like that of, say, a fear of witches who will try to hex you and eat your babies. No, this fear is a reverence. An acknowledgement of His awesome power and presence.
