One of the larger discussions at the Fathers of the Faith event surrounded "the fear of the Lord." Henry Blackaby said, "Too many of us have lost the fear of the Lord. When you lose the fear of God, you lose the fear of sin." He then turned us to look at Jeremiah 6. This is not a pretty passage!
Dave Buehring defined "the fear of the Lord" as reverencing and referencing God in all you do. He closed the session out by praying a prayer that included something that I am giving my attention to today. He prayed, "May Pittsburgh be marked by the fear of the Lord and the word of God."
What would Pittsburgh look like if all followers of Jesus prayed that prayer for our daily lives? God, I pray that I be marked by the fear of the Lord and word of God. Amen.
