INTRO: It is some time ago that I began a series that I called “The Subtle Undoing Of The Fear Of The Lord.” Because of the stressful time we entered last fall, I changed subjects mid-stream and did a number of messages on the beatitudes of Matthew 5. There is no question that the fear of the Lord has been zapped out much of North American Christianity. As my wife and I spent hours driving the other day, on the news was this dilemma. A mother of a seven year old boy had his gender changed to a girl, and now she wanted him/her to be able to use the girl’s washroom. I understand the school had already gone through the trouble and expense of making a non-gender specific washroom, but the mother insisted that he/she should be allowed to use the girl’s washroom. This was a Catholic school. Tell me, where are we? We might soon make Sodom and Gomorrah blush.
And largely undetected a subtle kind of thinking has entered the Church, and we have lost the fear of God that once was in North America. And I ask, what has brought us here? I have concluded that we have lost our fear of God, and though many things have contributed to this, there are some things that have and are very subtly contributing to this degeneration. I have proposed that the teachings of unconditional love, unconditional grace, unconditional forgiveness and unconditional eternal security have made their contributions to bringing us to where we are.
