Because Israel did not fear YHWH, they would fear their enemies.  L. Michael Morales

Great is YHWH, and to be praised exceedingly in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth is the Mountain of Zion...the city of the mighty king. - Psalm 48 The joy of the whole earth.

-Joshua Reese

Jesus didn't speak in parables to give new revelation to the church or redefine what first-century Jews thought about the future. Like the prophets, Jesus speaks in parables to evoke a moral response and to call Israel to covenant faithfulness. - Joshua Hawkins

“After three months we set sail in a ship that had wintered in the island.” Acts 28:11 Three months of unplanned ministry on Malta! All because of a trail of blunders and shipwreck.  

Stay awake to God’s purposes in the detours, disappointments, and frustrations of your plans.

-John Piper

“To walk into the unknown with a God of unqualified power and unfailing goodness is safer than a known way. …Be patient; it is better to be a chastened saint than a carefree sinner.” -D.A. Carson 

Nations will fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory. - Psalm 102  

"...for righteous fear is the product of genuine honor." - John P. Harrigan

For 33 years, Jesus veiled His strength from everyone’s eyes. But He finally showed them His strength when He bore on the cross the punishment for the sins of the world. He’s so strong! - Bob Sorge

Prov. 18:14, “Who can bear a broken spirit?” Answer: Only Jesus. On the cross, Jesus suffered a broken spirit, but He was strong enough to bear up under it. Now He can help you when your spirit is broken. - Bob Sorge

Trace back through Ladd, Wright, Dodd, Kasemann, Calvin, Luther, and Augustine... and you find Jews in the first century who sometimes think very little to nothing like those men. This image encapsulates why historical studies have been so helpful to me as a disciple of Jesus. - Joshua Hawkins

I think a part of fearing God that many discard is eschatology. Fearing Him is not only following His commandments but understanding His coming.  

A Christian that does not fear betraying the brethren (Matthew 24:10) is one full of pride and arrogance which leads to betrayal. - TJ Sewob

Theology 101: For a faith founded on a deep descent of the divine into radical other-centered sacrifice and service, there sure seems to be an inordinate amount of jostling for power, position, and prestige. -Dr. Michael Svigel

Jesus is the God and Savior of Israel. “Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt… Exodus 13:3 “…do this in remembrance of me.” Luke 22:19 REMEMBER

A life without repentance is a life without faith— and vice versa. -BA Purtle

“My prayer is for a deep revulsion to be granted to you and me, . . . to reveal to us how far we have fallen, how greatly we have been influenced, and, therefore, how lovingly and mercifully He is going to bring about a terrible deliverance.” —Dean Briggs 

The cross is the only dipstick we have for measuring the depths of the love of God. - Bob Sorge

Theology 101: Even if you’re right, hold your theology with humility. There will be no gloating in the new creation and no “I told you so” on the lips of the glorified saints. - Dr. Michael Svigel

Theology 101: Spending eternity glorifying God does not mean spending eternity in a crowd of worshippers singing songs. It means that whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, every thought and intention of our hearts will be only God-honoring continually. - Dr. Michael Svigel

Theology 101: I don’t believe that a God who made the world teeming with diversity would delight in a church tamed by uniformity.  - Dr. Michael Svigel

Theology 101: It's hard for me to take too seriously an eschatology in which verses of Israel's destruction are taken quite literally while adjacent verses of its future restoration are not. - Dr. Michael Svigel

We are all Lot's wife, looking back at a world that is passing away, yet still trying to hang on. But in our struggle, Jesus is the perfect example. He renounced this world and invested everything in the Age to Come. He is the antitype of Lot's wife because he only looked forward. - Travis M. Snow

Isaiah: "For the Lord has a Day of vengeance...for the cause of Zion." David: "The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance." There will be an eschatological tipping point of reprobation where love for our persecutors gives way to joy in the Lord's vengeance against them.  - Gabe Cali

“The task of the Church in relation to the events of world history is not to be the governor or controller of them, but to be the suffering servant and witness of the Lord, manifesting in its witness the true meaning of these events. The Church is not the instrument of God's governance of the world, but the witness of his governance both by speaking and by suffering.” - Lesslie Newbigin

"Revival, above everything else, is a glorification of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is the restoration of him to the centre of the life of the Church." -D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

"Examine your doctrine of the Holy Spirit and be careful lest, in your neat and trimmed doctrine, you are excluding what God does periodically through the Holy Spirit, in sending Him upon us, visiting, baptising, reviving the Church in a miraculous and astonishing manner." -Martin Lloyd-Jones 

The hour is daily drawing nearer when the reality of our Christianity will be tested, and it will be seen whether we have built on ‘the rock’ or on ‘the sand. -JC Ryle
