Outstanding Sermon! I whole heartily agree that a proper fear of God is missing in much of the church today. This Pastor says "The fear of God is best exhibited when we remember that every thought, word and deed is done in the presence of God-who is everywhere and nothing is hidden from Him." We best remember who our God is and fear Him in love, because of the precious blood of Christ. The first time I heard the phrase "grace abuser" I thought to myself, what a horrific term that is, I never want to be that!

Prasie to God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ for His precious blood.
