The Fear of of the Lord is the Beginning of Wisdom.

-Proverbs 9:10

Living a life of Human Flourishing in every area of your life involves three things:

1. Understanding the Beginning.

2. Fearing God.

3. Living under the Lordship of Jesus.

First: Understanding the Beginning.

Every time I write a paper on the origin of life, I swear I will never write another one because there is too much speculation running after too few facts.

-Francis Crick

The origin of life appears to be almost a miracle…So many are the conditions which would have to be satisfied to get it going.

-Francis Crick

What you believe about God determines the way you respond to information.  

What you believe about God determines how you go about living. 

The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom.

Wisdom begins with what you believe about beginning.

Second: Fearing God.

For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

-1 Corinthians 13:13

Fearing God does not mean to live in constant fear of His judgment.

Fearing God means: to have such respect, awe and adoration for God that it catalyzes a posture of worship in the here and now.

The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom.

Third: Living under the Lordship of Jesus.

The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom.

Here is how you know that you really trust God.

Are you willing to do whatever God says in any area of scripture whether you agree with it or not?

Are you willing to accept whatever God sends to you in any area whether you understand it or not?

No God, No Peace. Know God, Know Peace.

Pursue earth and lose heaven. Pursue Heaven and get earth thrown in.

-C.S. Lewis
