small grouping
Hey y'all,
i haven't written in a while. So, tonight i'll leave a wee note. Dave and I headed off for Biblestudy, in our small group that began two weeks ago. lovely. i enjoy the couples, very mixed ages and backgrounds which is just what we love to have! Proverbs is the book of study, and slowly we tread through the rich words there. amazing. incredible wisdom to base our life on. not promises of success and wealth, but guidelines to live by, guidelines that should lead to an "easier" life in the practical sence. (ex. proverbs has a lot of financial wisdom: if you use money wisely, you are more likely to have more of it. right? it isn't saying that Christians who follow Christ will HAVE LOTS of money. no no. it is simply a guideline that says, do not be foolish with what you have)
anyway. i love it. we discussed the FEAR OF THE LORD tonight. fabulous place to start, since it is the foundation of WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING. interesting hmm.
i encourage you all to read about the fear of the Lord, learn what it is from the Bible, listen to good solid sermons on it, understand that it truly just means: fear of the Lord. I never GOT THIS in my head until NOW. crazy eh? Fear of the Lord is the BASIS for sooooo many imp't things and i didn't get it.
Why should we have a fear of the Lord??? read the bible. luke 12:4-5. 2corinthians 5:10-11. Revalation 14:7. amazing. incredible. God will judge us for what we do and do not do. wow.
FEAR THE LORD, it is the beginning of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge of God.
Know who HE is and you will know that we are desperate and in need without Him.
Wow. thank you God for giving us life. let me know what you learn, pass it on, i'd love to hear from your life, heart, and biblestudy.
loves.

VERY important stuff Sue...thanks!!! I think it's so important to balance out our perspective on God, when much of what we hear in church etc... can sometimes lead to an unbalanced view of him, the Bible can give us the WHOLE picture. And it's so fundamental to our faith and walking out our faith. Can you post a link to some of those Driscoll sermons on the fear of the Lord? I may get a chance to listen at Mom and Dad's on their computer that actually works!
definately, i was thinking of it, and i will get the sermons for you sis!
hey, on another note, you can get an ipod for 30 bucks!!! dave said i should just buy one and that all i'd require would be a little 30 dollar one...not a bad idea for us sermon-on-the-go moms, eh?
lvoes.
