Fear of the Lord
Proverbs 9:10 states, "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."
Why fear the Lord? Has He zapped anyone recently?
Oh, you say your daughter is pregnant because she watched the Desperate Housewives show where they made fun of virginity. And your other daughter has had an abortion and gone into depression. And now you learned your son has AIDS after taking the diversity class in his highschool.
Well surly none of these are related to God? Condoms is the cure.
We really don't need God. We have social security to take care of the elderly, welfare to take care of the illegitimate and medical science to resolve all health issues. The life expectancy of everyone, except AIDS people, has increased, which proves we do not need God. The government will provide for all our needs. As soon as we get this stem cell research going, we will be gods. We have an explanation for all of life and history through evolution.
We have the worlds greatest economy and military, although our military cannot win a war. But, who would want to go to attack a country as great as ours, except maybe for the Islamic Terrorists.
Some say the Islamic Terrorists will go away when we get a higher minimum wage, tax the rich and establish social justice.
And, we have freedom of religion, so long as the religious people stay out of politics.
Why waste Sunday morning going to a worship service, much better to go to Target and buy Christmas presents.
Proverbs 12:15 states, "The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise."
