If you’re going to be a commercial pilot you have to begin by learning how to fly an airplane. You have to learn the basics of flying first. After that you can worry about licensing, logging hours and getting a job.
How we begin is important in our spiritual lives as well. The Bible tells us that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” Our generation doesn’t talk much about fearing God. We like to emphasize God’s love, forgiveness and mercy. But fearing God does not mean being scared out of our wits. Rather, it means respectful obedience. It means that we take God very seriously and do what he wants. It’s the foundation of wisdom.
Fearing God means respecting him, trusting him, believing in him and obeying him. If we forget to fear the Lord, sooner or later we’re bound to crash!
Bound to crash?? WTF? Did this guy just make a threat toward us backed by the power of god?? What a dick. And wait a minute! A contradiction in the bible?? Unheard of.
Did you get the message everyone? Be well, clean and do good even though i created you sick in filth as a dirty sinner. Believe in me, even though there's no proof. Fear me, even though I'm eternal love. Love me, even though I'm threatening you with eternal torture.
Chris Brown saying "sex me now, or have your face meet the business end of my fist" approves.
